I did it with just a wood filler worked well too.

Someone on here used fine sand for bird cages glued down then painted over with grey paint, it came out really well.

Thats more a stone look isn't it? Like scalpings/hardcore/screenings?

the simplest way ? pull a saw side on to scrape parralel lines in the mdf, then grey paint

Hiya,I use grey paint and bird sand

i use a very fine model train limestone aggrigate product, pva the board, then spread it on nice and thick, roll in with a old rolling pin(mine was new first off, and she wasnt impressed to say the least :D) then seal with a spray of pva and water , 50/50 mix should do,with a small squirt of washing up liquid in it to break the seal

job done, the stuff i buy costs 1.60 for a 500 g bag
