I was just at the lumber yard and they recommended MDO plywood it is used for making exterior signs . Their plywood supplier said it would hold up like Marine ply. It was 20.00 less per sheet for 3/4 .

I have used the stuff which is commonly called "sign board". I made a disc for my daughter years ago and it's still in good shape - of coarse I did do the epoxy treatment to it!

MDO stands for Medium Density Overlay which is the outside "skin".

The MDO is mighty fine stuff. Have used it many times and it holds up outside very well. It comes in oversize sheets also which can be helpful at times. Think about it, outdoor signage takes a real beating. Don't remember voids ever being an issue either.
