Eric, I’m making a mold out of three layers of 3/4 MDF. Should I seal the inside edge? If so, what would you use?

[@russellscott1151]

Hi Eric, do you use 18 or 25mm thick MDF for the mould? Thanks.

16.15 mins in your router bit has two washers. Did you add a second washer? My board thickness is 5/8 thick. I'm trying to figure out what size of bit to buy.

What is that heater (stratus column shape)? How does it work. What powers it?

[@whitehawk2023]

D0 you have to have a binding g on a guitar or can you just make a router cut so it sits Evenly?
Just curious
