Outdoor yard signs
Although I have made a lot of indoor crafts haven't made many outdoor decorations. My wife has put in her order for a couple and I was wondering what if anything I should do to edges of the plywood to help seal them. They will be painted and cleared. I was wondering if putting a coat of glue on the edges or the whole thing would help protect it. They will be about 16"x24".

Re: Outdoor yard signs
Unless using exterior/marine grade plywood I would use solid wood. If not I sure would coat with Tite Bond 2 or 3 and then Poly over it!!

Greenie, Grayling, SS stand alone BS and BS SPT, jointer and belt sander, 3 Ers with Speed Changers. I think those 3 cover my ER needs, and space for them.

TBIII on the edges. Use oil based paint. Poly over the paint.

Tite Bond II is water proof if not submerged constantly.Gene Howe wrote:TBIII on the edges. Use oil based paint. Poly over the paint.

Re: Outdoor yard signs
You may want to look at MDO or HDO, we use it periodically for job-site signs, that material will last forever, it is waterproof.

Re: Outdoor yard signs
I made a couple of out side shelf's a while back, and to seal the edges of the plywood I used auto body filler, ( bondo )it filled the voids and sanded and painted over very easy.
