Blondewood for exterior of tear?

Postby Endo » Sat Oct 21, 2006 9:28 pm

I did a search for info on blondewood. Not much info. So I have a question.

I was at Lowes today looking at the plywood. I was considering using the 3/4" blondewood but it states it is for interior use.

If I used it on the exterior walls do you think it would hold up if it was primed and painted??

Has anyone else used it??

I hate to spend the extra money on oak if I'm going to paint it. The pine plywood is just not smooth enough.

Endo...I wouldn't use it...I would go with an ACX grade of fir if available or pine if not.............................. 8)

I got almost the same answer from Jabout a year ago ,Look at the edges of it real close to you will see a whole lot of missing wood from the layers(plies)
I used oak, thought I was going to stain it ended up painting inside and out.
wished I would have just used axc Ithink its finshed on one side pretty nice stuff. :)
