hi i am replacing the some shed panels on my shed with osb3 boards, and i read that the edges where you cut you have to seal up if they are going to be outside.. Exterior Caulk, or would nomorenails be better? thanks cj
An exterior sealant would be better. Although OSB 3 is water resistant, once water gets into the edges and stays there, the boards will start to deteriorate
For Handyandy's sake. No to Nomorenails and no to exterior caulk but yes to both if you want it to fail!
Jesus guys, novice diy people and people needing advice come here for advice and help not for sarcasm! and anger! if I knew what to put on the edges I wouldn't need to come here and ask in the first place would i ? after the belated advice i am going to try Black Bituminous Paint
touchy? because I came here for help not for sarcasm? nope that's just logical .. stop justifying illogical irrational behaviour please.. the sarcasm and anger would be warranted if they assumed I knew what I was talking about and was still asking for help and advice but I clearly don't so it isn't its just 'wrong'
No, you're being touchy. That's the downside of typing on a computer, emotions and 'in jokes' lost in translation.

I agree. But in post 4 an actual product type was mentioned, your comment whilst understood by most with experience probably wasnt specific enough for him. Just giving the benefit of the doubt. But by post 4 he had 2 answers
If you have wrapping with a woman like that i wouldn't over clad it. If i had something like this less aesthetically pleasing stuff i would! www.roofingsuperstore.co.uk/product/tf200-black-anthracite-breather-membrane-by-protect-1-35m-x-100m.html
I suspect the OP was hoping to do the job with some leftovers from his shed, I can't see him splashing out that much, or that he will ever come back
