I don't think I'd put oils on MDF. If you are looking for something to seal with, I'd put on a few coats of urethane or some of that new 2 part varnish that dries super hard and is clear. MDF probably has the flattest surface but it can be a sponge so you'll want to use something. In your

Mark, This is probably a better question for Bob but here is my two cents worth from the corner. The only way that you can drain that system is by removing the lower radiator hose and stand by for the inevitable shower. There should be some kind of a filler type cap or fitting on the top of the
