    Anyone got any OSB in Perth??

    G"day,
    'Her indoors' wants some OSB to make a veggie patch. I know OSB might be an insult in this forum, but it is waterproof, any other suggestions would be welcome.

    Our small bread board made of two pieces has come apart. Is Gorilla glue ok for fixing it? The Gorilla seems to be water proof enough, but I want to be sure that it is food safe as well.
