[QUOTE="Johnny, post: 396287, member: 13599"] hardly any good hardware stores carry the "true MDO" anymore. A lot of sign makers use it. But, with new plastic and aluminum composites coming out every week, even the MDO is going to the wayside. Check your local sign shop (not a vinyl sticker shop) but a real sign shop. They always have a corner full of cut-offs and old signs .... See if you can buy some old painted 1/2" or 3/4" MDO signs and re-purpose them. Plywood = will show the grain pattern, it is actual wood veneer both sides. MDO = is plywood with an exterior grade glue with heavy duty craft paper glued to each side. Medium Density Overlay. Very smooth. Furniture and Sign grade and extremely weather proof IF you prepare the edges properly. NOT TO BE CONFUSED with [b]MDF[/b] - which is Medium Density FIBERBOARD that will swell up and fall apart when it gets wet. [/QUOTE]
