cool..
i just painted mine, but i'm thinking it might be a good idea to rough sand it a bit?? give the glue something to adhere to as that mdf is pretty smooth stuff...

but ask the guys at HD what they suggest..(since you'll probably go there for glue anyway right??

)

good luck!!

3m makes a spray on adhesive that is made for this sort of thing. I'll see if I can find the name of it.
