You either do it the right way and install OSB with small gaps (they are a few millimeters narrower than other boards), or you do it like me and ignore that and just slap the boards up.
Both methods seem to work well without the walls bulging out....or in.

I also went ahead like Mathias, it works well! It's worth mentioning that I am so slow (read thorough) that the OSB probably had time to dry anyway 
Some tips:
* Glue the OSB to the studs (I didn't think of this)
* Fully screw both OSB and plasterboard
* Regular drywall screws work excellently with OSB, which makes it cheap

Is it possible to nail OSB with a nail gun?
It is a kind of fiberboard that is pressed in a plywood-like manner. Looks like a mixture between plywood and chipboard. Somewhat cheaper than construction plywood.

Chipboards should be glued to the studs and preferably edge to edge. This according to the construction description from the manufacturer, e.g., Byggelit. Also recommended by carpenters when there is plenty of time for assembly. The glue rather locks the board in one position. Screws alone will probably not be able to "hold against it."MagnusS said:
But OSB should not be placed against each other. How can they then be glued edge to edge?

I was commenting on MagnusS's general opinion that glue doesn't "feel right." I'm unsure about OSB. The surface is often waxed, so the question is whether the glue might lose its grip after a couple of years. Maybe someone else knows....sgryd said:

They don't move...not measurably at least. At the same time, it becomes incredibly solid walls.MagnusS said:
