Hi,
I am going to build some external shutters for my house. I am going to build them raised panel style - like the picture below.
According to the MEDEX data sheet - it looks like it would work fine for these shutters.

I will prime and paint the shutters, so it won't be raw wood exposed to the elements.
My question is more around how the finish will look when using the raised panel cutters.
For normal, interior MDF, the faces paint up very nicely, but the edges don't take paint very well, unless you seal them with a glue/water mix.
If anyone has worked with MEDEX - a couple questions
1 - Will it dull the raised panel cutters?
2 - How about painting the raised panels? Does the edge grain need to be sealed first with glue/water to get a nice painted edge?
3 - Comparison of MEDEX vs EXTIRA. I found a local supplier for MEDEX - about $68 for a 4x8 sheet
Another supplier has EXTIRA - but it is about $100 per sheet
Any opinions (Good or Bad) of MEDEX would be appreciated!
Thanks Alot
