Hello,
Just planning ahead a little. I'm going to cover the interior walls of my toy garage with OSB and was wondering if anyone has any installation tips? The garage is 30 X 40 exterior dim's with 2 X 6 X 10' high walls stick framing. I already have it wired up and the walls are insulated with R-19 batts.
I'm pretty good at carpentry so this is not a challenging project for me but specifically I'm trying to decide if I should glue it to the walls like drywall and also what type of screws would be best? Drywall screws will rust over time so I'm leaning toward coated deck screws or something similar. Any thoughts?
One last question is, I would like to just leave the OSB bare/ unpainted but I'm also wondering if I should put a clear preservative or sealer on it so it doesn't absorb dirt or moisture over time?
