Hi all Have boarded out my man cave in the garden inside with osb 3 board I'd like to paint it to give a bit of extra light. I'm not bothered about having a smooth finish, I'm happy to have the osb rough finish, I'm just wary about the paint being sucked in and blowing the board or...

Does OSB have a wax finish ? what would be the best way to remove this before painting? would rubbing it down with white spirit do the trick Just going to finish it with black bitumen, do I bother with a primer, or just slap it on.

I've made a shed and screwed 12mm OSB2 on the outside, normal fence type paints don't last, so I thought why not paint it with sandtex? if I prime the OSB first, will the sandtex stick to it?

Hi all, I have internal osb walls, advised Bedec barn paint or Bedev multi surface, which would be best? thx

Morning all. Hopefully someone has come across this before.. I have just clad the inside of my outbuilding in OSB3. Wall sheets ate butted together and behind it sits a vapour control layer. I now want to seal/caulk the joins and paint over. Gaps vary from tight upto 5mm. Thoughts on what I...

Hi, i have been gradually building a workshop over the past year, insulated timber with an inner cladding of OSB (sterling board) I have painted it with some cheap white emulsion so it looks a bit better. I am still in the process of wiring it up before it is in use which i expect to be in the...

Have a custom storage cabinet covered with OSB board, does it need any special primer before finishing with either emulsion or gloss paint ? It for internal use only.

Hi all. I am building a 3 x 4m garden office that will be cladded with treated timber T&G on the two exposed walls. The other two walls are close to my fence and will not be visible. I was originally planning to clad those walls too but the cost really added up. Then I considered aluminium box...

Although I still need to find and install cladding to my mini workshop on the doors and one side, (it’s no bigger than a bike shed), we have painted the outside so the weather keeps it from rotting. However I wanted to keep the inside natural wood, except I did not communicate this to the person...

Hi all, I've read quite a few posts and recommendations for painting OSB3 but the cost of what is recommended make a Latex/Acrylic based paint a massive cost hike for us but a lot of people/posts around states they have painted using masonry paint but others said not to use a water based paint...

I am building a garden shed and don't have money for expensive cladding. Therefore I was just going to treat the OSB walls with some kind of preservative. Is this a valid and recommended practice? What kind of preservative or varnish or wood paint be sufficient?

I had a loft converted a few years ago and on the gable side, the builder insisted on osb board, with mesh and straight cement render, which was painted over with dulux masonry paint. I've noticed when very cold the inside void of the loft, cold space if you like, the osb board is wet -...

Was gonna put osb over the top of a watertank but there will be an area which gets water on it a lot is this bitumen flexypol stuff the best stuff to waterproof it and stop it rotting? Once dry is this flexypol stuff ok to touch with your hands or throw tools on like any other paint?

Evening all. First post...so go easy on me I am looking to tidy up the garage a little bit and part of my plans is to cover the drab grey Thermalite blocks walls. I am planning on building a simple timber frame with 2"x1" batons, fixing those to the Themalite blocks at 600mm spacings and...

Hi I want to put up a log storage area, shelter with an osb sheet as a roof to keep of the rain. My question is do I have to put on felt first or can I just use BITUMEN PAINT to keep the cost down? Is there any other paint on style material I could use if I cannot use BITUMEN PAINT? Thanks

I have rather regretfully painted the walls (OSB) of a garden office with Dulux exterior weather shield masonry paint on the advice it would be fine. I now have a smelly office which is rather annoying. I believe it’s the biocides in the paint that is the smell. I’ve painted over it with an...

This isn't actually a screw-up yet, but might become one. I decided to save money by using type 3 OSB for a decking as it's going to be covered with fake grass so won't be seen. After a bit of reading I thought that type 3 was waterproof rather than just water-resistant, but an experienced mate...

Hi, I have 18mm OSB laid down in a new bathroom, screwed into joists beneath. I've probably sunk the screw heads a bit much, and there are some joins where one board butts up against another. Wondering what the best thing to do is beneath vinyl flooring. Wondered about a resin of some kind...

Paint your OSB white.

I've painted a bonding slurry all over the wall ready but the osb is very smooth I was hoping I could paint blue grit on the osb for a nice rough key for the adhesive for dob and dab?
