I have several 30" x 144" 1/2 mdo signs to do for a shopping center. I can only get 120" lenths so I'll be adding 24" panels to get the lenth I need.

I'll be mounting them on 1x2 premiun grade lumber.

I'd like to fill in the crack of the butt joint with a compound that will last over the long haul. I'll sand and prime and paint one shot over it so it isn't noticable.

I've heard of:

Woodfiller
Bondo
Epoxy

Anyone have any exeperince or tips?

Thanks,
Mike

Hi Mike
I have a friend that is a boat builder
he just made up some 16 foot sheets of plywood
to cut planks from....for the boat he's building
he made a scarf joint....its a beveled joint...
and glued with epoxy.
contact Gougeon Bros/west system...they have a jig
and advice for you....

Two part epoxy, and add fumed silica to thicken for a crack filler

The Scarf cut will be the smoothest option for your splice. It also adds more strength. the thicker the plywood the better.
