Fiber cloth on OSB?

[zingo]

I have covered the interior walls in the workshop (heated) with OSB. I was thinking of painting but first considered covering them with fabric to prevent bleed-through in the white paint from the OSB.

But OSB is waxed, right?
Will I encounter issues when gluing the fabric?
If fabric is okay, what type of glue should I use?

But do as you "should" and install plasterboard....

Well, I read that thread before, but then I was thinking of painting directly. I want canvas on first before I paint to avoid bleed-throughs. So the question is about the canvas and its ability to adhere with suitable glue.

Yes, apply plaster. If not for anything else, then for fire protection.

OSB is waxed because it's not intended as a surface layer, and the surface is very coarse, so it looks terrible to put fabric on it.
Moreover, a fiberglass fabric does not stop bleed-through.

Now two have responded without answering the question…
I already know that plaster is better and "correct."
But I don't want plaster and will not put up plaster.

My question is still ONLY whether it is possible to glue the fiber fabric onto the OSB boards, i.e., if the glue adheres to the waxed surface or not. And if so, which glue?

Now I got a response.
Thanks

First, try a fabric glue on a piece.

 

[zingo]

Yes, I thought so too.
I'll try it in one place and see if I can tolerate the result.
How strong is the cloth? Can it handle the movements of the OSB?

 

[Stefan N]

The seams will be visible for sure. If it doesn't crack, there will at least be movement there.

Ok, but this is just a carpenter's shed. Had a fiber cloth leftover (40 meters) and thought it would still be better than painting directly on the OSB. Put up one piece yesterday. I think it looks quite ok for the purpose, and after painting, probably even better.
