Painting OSB

[thomo2710]

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 bits delaminating.


Any suggestions on what paint to use? Water/oil/llatex based

Primer or not?

Thanks

Outdoors should be oil-based, but I'd just slap some emulsion on it because whatever you put onto it it will suck in like a sponge

I used water based wood preserver on my shed and has not delaminated.

I recently slapped loads of white emulsion on OSB3, no problem.
