I don't think MDF will stand up very well. It will asorb the steam and possibly weaken and I don't think it is strong enough to begin with for ironing.
But if I cover the mdf with foil would that be okay? This is Half inch thick so I think it would be strong enpogh, I was just worringing about the moisture.
My ironing surface is MDF with just a layer of cotton batting and a cotton canvas cover. I've been using it for over 5 years. It's strong enough and has held up to tons of steam. It's not warped or damaged in any way.
