The OSB board provided to wall a garden shed that we put up last year,
came with a flyer that explained that it is made by hot pressing
chips so that the resin bonds the material.

Brian Whatcott Altus OK

Brian-
Is the garden shed on its way to being the compost heap?

I would strongly recommend that such a boat only be used in water
shallow enough to walk to shore.

Yes, but which resin? G

Chipboard has been made with, IIRC, Formaldehyde glues for years. They
may have changed, but I doubt there is no glue in there. Whatever, the
stuff is extremely strength/weight challenged, and does not like
moisture.
