Sheet goods questions

Is your supplier able to sell you MDF sheets that are factory primed on both surfaces?

As regards prefinished hardwood plywood, what is done to protect the surface enroute to you? And how do you protect it when using it in projects?

Can't tell you about the MDF, but when I get a delivery of pre-fin plywood, it's all consecutive sheets clean off the pile and cared for(mostly). Once it's in the shop, it's up to you. I store plywood vertically, and can leaf through the load, so I'm not dragging across the face of a sheet. Sharp corners are tough on it, but all in all, it's not that difficult to keep it undamaged.

I use it for cabinet interiors, so a small dent is usually not noticeable.
