This product resists inclement weather areas well. It is often used for exterior signs and sub-board underneath laminates for countertops. It is recommended to apply an exterior grade primer and paint to this product if using in an exterior application. Primer and paint adhere nicely to the plywood face. When applied with exterior grade primer and paint, this product holds up much better than regular plywood. The overlay also helps prevent the incidence of surface checking, which can occur as a result of fluctuations in the relative humidity of the environment.
If you are able to maintain or control the humidity of your working or storage conditions, then surface checking should not be an issue for works done on plywood. When works are shipped for exhibition or relocated for any reason and there is a significant enough change in relative humidity, there can be a risk for the plywood to develop surface checking. We recently wrote an article on this phenomenon that can be found here: Surface Checking and Plywood, Is It a Concern? We hope this is helpful and if you have more questions, feel free to contact us at help goldenpaints.
Sorry for the delay in response. Medium Density Overlay or MDO, is a form of plywood that comes with the paper overlay already attached to the surface. You could buy the MDO plywood in boards, some box hardware stores may have it in stock, but some have it available for order online for pick-up and a local hardware store might be able to order it in for you as well. We hope this answers your question. If you have additional questions about MDO you can email help goldenpaints. Can you use a stain to seal the MDO?
I have a desk that was finished with MDO but I want to stain it. Hello Kelsey, thank you for your question. The thing to keep in mind about MDO is that it has a resin impregnated paper overlay. So in the true sense of a stain, it would not soak directly into the wood. We have not tested staining the MDO specifically, we have tested it as a viable painting substrate for easel painting or for use with murals.
What we can say is that it is receptive to acrylic paints, so it could take a stain with acrylics for example, if you wanted to alter the color a bit. We have not tested it with other traditional stains. We would recommend testing first to see if that could work for you. Here is a link to technical info on staining with acrylics: Woodstaining Objects. In terms of sealing the MDO, for functional use, we would recommend finishing with something like a polyurethane to have a surface that can withstand repeated use and contact with objects.
It already has a resin impregnated into the paper overlay which helps seal it from moisture, but it still might benefit from a more durable topcoat if this is a desk. Acrylics, if you were to stain with them, would not hold up as a functional topcoat on a desk for example. They are thermoplastic, if they were to get hot, they could become soft and sticky. A traditional stain may be more appropriate, but again we would recommend testing to be sure that would work for your application.
We hope this helps, if you have more questions feel free to email us at help goldenpaints. Any leads. To get the MDO you could inquire at a local hardware store and see if they have it.
If not they may be able to order it in for you. As far as primed, some manufacturers will prime the MDO, you just want to make sure it is a paintable surface. Just make sure you follow their recommendations and it may be worth checking with them about whether or not this is good for outdoors. This may help you find who is producing the MDO and give you more info for you search.
