Hi all,
The contractors are due to finish erecting my new workshop today. Yes, I know there are those who will say I should have done it, but I already have too many other projects on the go. Anyway, to keep costs down they have delivered 30 sheets of Far Eastern 9mm ply for me to clad the interior. There is a breathable membrane behind the outer cladding and the uprights are 3x2 inch. I propose to add 2inches (50mm) of Kingspan leaving an air gap between it and the membrane. What I am not sure about though is if I need to treat the inside of the ply with any sort of coating. The side facing into the workshop will be painted. Can the ply be left in it's raw state or should it be given a coat of primer or primer and undercoat or something I'm not yet aware of?
