ToughButterCup Posted May 23, 2020 Share Posted May 23, 2020 The inside of our piggery is nearly finished. It's walls are lined with OSB. The piggery acts as a utility room. It'll be dampish in there for short periods. Painting OSB is new to me. Any gottchas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ProDave Posted May 24, 2020 Share Posted May 24, 2020 What is the problem? Which paint to use or how to apply it? The problem with OSB is it is not very flat so a roller might not work well, but give it a try. And I would try with just plain old emulsion paint as you would any other ceiling.

PeterW Posted May 24, 2020 Share Posted May 24, 2020 Short pile roller and eggshell paint and it will be fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CC45 Posted May 24, 2020 Share Posted May 24, 2020 I've used masonry pain in our (open) garages. Water proof so hopefully will keep damp out of the storage room above. Does give off fumes for a long time.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Onoff Posted May 24, 2020 Share Posted May 24, 2020 I've painted OSB3 with No Nonsense wood treatment a few times now. Pretty sure it affects whatever "glue" holds the OSB together and makes it more susceptible to blowing at the edges. https://www.screwfix.com/p/no-nonsense-wood-treatment-dark-brown-5ltr/23266 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
