    OK, Ive received some really good advice regarding sealing, priming and
    painting interior wood. Now I need some more of your collective
    experience. I am going to put some beadboard profile wood on the
    bulkhead walls at the head and feet of our expanded bunk (was stacked
    bunks, now expanded to a good-sized twin bed). I want to use a sheet
    material because it will be easier to install, and I hope not to have to
    re-trim the entire berth. = inch to 9/16th inch boards will be thinker
    that the existing trim it will butt up to. With a thinner material, I
    hope to use a small quarter-round trim to conceal any gaps between the
    new surface material and the existing trim. The question is, assuming I
    seal, prime and paint with good marine-grade materials (as I have been
    doing on the structural components of the expanded berth) is there any
    reason the MDF should not be used? It seems to me like it would be as
    stable as regular wood. Thoughts?

    Thanks in advance.
