<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>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Times New
Roman","serif";color:windowtext">So we are
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>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Times New
Roman","serif";color:windowtext">I wanted to
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
front of the plywood </span><span
