Tips from other designers
I've used simple Elmer's white glue to attach pieces of MDF to each other on both surfaces and edges, and it works amazingly.
If you want to bond your MDF, use Gorilla Glue.
It works best if you wet the edges slightly with a damp rag or sponge before applying the GG. Beware of expansion, Gorilla Glue will expand in volume 3x!
So get it wet, glue it, and then clamp it down and forget it. In a few hours you'll have a permanent adhesion.
