The sheer amount of glue used in OSB and other manufactured sheet wood is pretty gross unfortunately. They are functionally useful for certain use cases, I just can't get myself to reach for it over real lumber and joinery.
- jorts 3y agoWhy does the glue concern you?
- bhickey 3y agoOff gassing. Plywood is a big VOC emitter.
- kansface 3y agoIts carcinogenic.
- _heimdall 3y agoOthers touched on it too, but I don't like all the chemicals in the wood or all the energy required to make it. If I'm building something I try really hard to avoid it, I can only assume the dust is really toxic to breath in and I don't have money or space for a fancy dust collection system.
