I did nothing for the edges of my OSB forms. The hot-glue sticks pretty well, but the end grain (essentially) should release easily with a shearing whack. (knock on wood. I mean knock really hard on wood 
).

: Rob Macks' instructions call for shellac. The instructions are great, but
: don't go into any detail about stapleless construction and none of you
: stapleless experts seem to use shellac.
: Anyone care to comment on pros and cons of my options?
