What is the difference between MDO and HDO plywood?

Both MDO and HDO are hardwood plywoods with a resin soaked fiber overlays between the veneer layers and on both surfaces.

What is HDO and MDO?

High and Medium Density Overlay plywood (HDO and MDO) combine the toughness of exterior-type plywood with the superior wear of an overlaid surface. This makes HDO and MDO among the most durable construction materials on the market today. HDO and MDO feature highly durable, resin-impregnated fiber faces.

How do you paint HDO plywood?

MDO plywood signs should be painted with a primer such as Ronan Block Out White, and then with two coats of 1-Shot enamel. Lightly sand between coats of paint using a 230-sand paper to ensure good intercoat adhesion. Thinning the enamel will help it flow out.

How big of a panel do I need for radius bending plywood?

Panel Size: 4′ x 8′ Long grain or 8′ x 4′ Cross grain. Minimum radius: 12″ May be able to flex smaller, but will require significant force. All component parts should be manually “flexed” to achieve maximum flexibility.

What’s the difference between HDO and MDO plywood?

MDO plywood costs about half the cost of marine plywood, or about twice the cost of softwood plywood; HDO is slightly higher.

What’s the standard size of US lumber plywood?

Standard sizes are 8’x4′, 5′; 10’x4′, 5′; 12’x4′, 5′. A special FinnForm panel is available for re-plying metal framed forms. This is FinnForm Reply, manufactured in full 1/2″ thickness, 4’x8′ size (face grain runs the length direction). The durability of FinnForm plywood out performs HDO and lasts longer.
