Does the copper on the PCB remained magnetized like iron? That would not be
a good thing when you start putting ICs on it.

What about drilling the mounting holes manually and using wood screws to
mount the PCB on MDF? Or maybe have bolts mounted through the MDF like
alignment pins, and then put a nut to hold the PCB down? Cut the bolts so
they stick out just enough for the nut to fasten securely.
