    <p>Do you just want a clear finish on the mdo? That is the stuff
      with the paper overlay on top of it right? I think it is used a
      lot for sign boards.</p>
    <p>Anywho, since it has a paper overlay, I wonder if something like
      a drywall primer paint would work? I know it does wonders for
      drywall and makes it a lot smoother in the end. Of course that
      won't work if you are wanting a clear finish. I don't know if they
      have a clear drywall primer available. The stuff we have used has
      always been white.</p>

            just about finished with a fairly major interior remodel of
            our humble abode.  The 2 bedroom closets had these painted
            shelves that were probably original to the house built in
            1940.  I really did not want to put them back.  Actually I
            really do not want painted shelves period.  I thought about
            the wire closet stuff but the supports are pretty much a
            permanent part of the wall so installing the wire stuff may
            not have worked really well?  <o:p></o:p></span></p>

            go with something that would be flat and smooth and
            hopefully easy to finish.  For whatever reason I chose MDO
            plywood.  It’s flat and smooth but I really didn’t think it
            through on the finishing.  I tried some wipe on poly on a
            scrap and was not overly impressed with the results.  So I
            did some Googling.  The only thing that I have come up with
            that seemed to be a decent recommendation is General
            Finishes Arm-R-Seal.  And before anyone asks yes I edged the
