I've only tried yellow glue on MDF and it doesn't hold very well.
What about dowels or screws with plugs. I assume this will be painted.

I assume you mean for interior use. I would be concerned about the
accelerated release of the formaldehyde in the MDF--but then again, I'm
really sensitive to the stuff.
'M',
Since this stuff is basically PAPER and Glue . . . I wouldn't use it
ANYWHERE near a hear source.
Even if it wouldn't be heated to the point of ignition, it would be DRIED
OUT till it was both brittle AND much more sensitive to sources of ignition.
