Paul,
I have used it to make my own shop sign and it seems to work well although heavy. I asked for a sample three years ago and proceded to nail the sample to a tree in the yard along with a piece of MDF.Both unprotected in any way. The MDF was recently consumed in full by nature. The Extira panel is still there, although slightly swollen around the edges. Honestly it doesnt look bad at all. Not very scientific but convinced me that for some applications it warrants consideration. It would definitely outlast a great majority of the boutiques or businesses that open, last a year then close. At about 1/10 the price of HDU I would feel confortable making signage using it, provided it was finished and sealed.

Terry
