Used by sign companies for outdoor signs. I have apiece hanging around in my shed for 5 years, looks like new with no treatment of any kind.

OP827 wrote:Thanks for the info. I saw the video and I suspect that another reason for cavities in his panels could be from uneven surface of foam after manual roughing the surface with an orbital sander that can eat into foam very quickly. Instead of doing that I would run the xps foam through a planer like I did for my roof panel to achieve precise same thickness. I am thinking of doing similar skin outside for panels of my next build (in design phase now). It saves a lot of time and money with instantly achieved finished surface.
But the same issues with all wood, it will rot.

I disagree. You can build anything out of wood, and if it's done correctly, it won't rot.
I'm sitting in my wooden house which is well built. It'll be here many decades (or even centuries) beyond my lifetime.
Your philosophy may be based where you live. Here in central Idaho, about the only way you can get wood to actually rot, is if it is in contact with the ground. So the two of us may have been down two different trails.

Even if Howard had...

I am looking forward to your project. I've been following Sawtooth's project on Expedition Portal and find it to be quite interesting.
Take care,
Tom
