Osb

pala4058

I have used osb instead of drywall for interior ceiling and walls in a combination storage building/dog house. The scent of glue from the osb is strong. I have painted the osb to seal the wood but the aroma is still present. I am looking for a cure. Any suggestions ?

Hang drywall over it.

I don't think the materials stored there, or the dogs, will mind the stink.

Shellac

Yep, shellac. Bin Zinsser white pigmented shellac.

My wife and I used to live in a house, OK, well a barn, the guy put up OSB on everything. I can back up what you say, it stinks! Makes me sick using it for framing also. If it gets wet, chunk hurler here.

Third for the shellac . . .

But then how do you get rid of the paint smell? Sounds like a never ending cycle to me

I used it to sheath the inside of a workroom once and admit it stunk for a few months but seems like the fumes outgased or I finally got used to it.
