Step 2 - Plan and Cut Your Pieces

Every time you make a cut, any sealer at the edges will disappear and open up a new place where moisture and water can be absorbed. Therefore, you will need to make sure your OSB is cut into the pieces you will need before you add your waterproofing so these edges can be protected.

Step 3 - Paint if Desired

You can also stain OSB for a more natural look. Choose a water-resistant type to get an added layer of protection similar to paint.
