Tips for Painting OSB
- Prime with two coats of an oil-based primer such as Kilz Complete or Sherwin-Williams ProBlock.
- Roll on the primer and paint rather than spraying the paint.
- Leave as many panels uncut as possible to preserve the factory edges.
Furthermore, does OSB need to be primed? OSB is constructed with water based glue and ink, and also can contain various amounts of sap. By not priming, you'll find that the sap will bleed through your paint even through 2 coats, and that's not what we want to see.
Similarly one may ask, can OSB sheathing be painted?
Using oil-based paint is essential. Just painting the OSB like you would paint plywood will leave the OSB rougher and the paint will bleed through regular primer, while using water-based paint causes the OSB to peel over time, making it look unattractive and requiring regular maintenance.
Can you make OSB waterproof?
OSB is strong and water-resistant. Every single fiber or piece of wood in an OSB is saturated with a cocktail of resins designed to provide superior strength and waterproofing to the finished product. This type of board is an excellent material for use in waterproofing systems, be they roof, sub-floor or wall.
