> Hello
"MDO is used for long-term outdoor signboard and is more durable and solid than okoume plywood, although a bit heavier... The test spec (CSA clause 7.3 Type 1 Exterior Test)is rigorous and will satisfy a majority of enlightened newbies."
Could you explain exactly what type 1 exterior test is? My lumber supplier isn't sure what that refers to. (Where would it be purchased?)
As for MDO, I'm told it has a plasticised coating. Wouldn't that interfere with epoxy?
Just curious.
