and descibe exactly what the 'portland new age stained OSB look' product is.

Or just provide ample air changes. Pretty much solves outgassing of any sort.
I don't have a clue about the product either. But outgassing is normal for about anything you bring into the house.PAHS Designer/Builder- Bury it!
Rez, I believe that when you view a message, your cokkies let it "drop" on the list that you see. For folks who haven't viewed it, it stays at the top, so I wonder if your well intentioned bumps actually do anything.

A large bulk of people just view off the Recent Discussion and the most recent in the other folders. Place has gotten too big to catch all the threads.
Bumping resubmits a post to the beginning of the process.
I recall a number of times where a post was bumped a couple times before Piffin or someone else that cares enough to respond to a query saw the post, saying they had never seen the post before.
Anyone that takes the time to post a question here should at least get one response even if it's just an acknowledgement.

First: research OSB and outgassing - witha quick look it seems there are at least two types of adhesive used with different levels of outgassing, and that there are UF free OSBs becoming avaialable.

I wouldn't think it would be a problem unless someone is extra sensitive to such things. Keep the home well ventilated and don't lose any sleep.

o i luv the bump, at first i didnt know what it ment but , hay look I posted fresh in the morning pacific time and got some nice replys thank you all so very much..i will be having a HRV or ERV heat or energy recovery unit installed so there will be a constant air exchange ...i was just wondering if anybody has ever done this i.e place OSB over infloor heating systems and if they had a gluey smell...ive seen some of the nicest floors done inexpensivley by sanding and staining OSB with a nice cherry stain, the chips pick up a nice uneven stain coat where the edges of the wood chip hold darker stain...looks very good and is quite durable if sealed properly...if i could find a pic i would send it out
sorry driftwood. Seeing you had been around since '05 I took for granted you would have known what the bump was without my making the normal copy/paste explanation.
My bad.
