Has anyone here made their own stress skin panels?

I've just done a microgoogle and it appears you could glue a sheet of
eps between osb, slip it into a vacuum bag and have yourself a SIP. Am
I missing anything?

OK.

The big question:

Why do you want to do this?

Do you have something against manufactured SIPS?

No. I've just heard they're very expensive.

I think quite the contrary, I looked VERY hard at using them for a new
shop that goes up in about 3 more weeks.

After you factor in the labor savings since they go up so fast, the
superior insulation qualities, and that you can just paint the inside
in some locals, or put drywall on if that's required, you are pretty
much done.

Locally I could NOT find a builder that knew what i was talking about,
and especially one that would build with them. I received 4 quotes
from manufactures, not one of them had a builder in my area.

I also wrote the www.sips.org, and never heard from a builder.

In New Jersey, at Bull's Island Recreation area, they built a new
Visitor Center from SIPS a couple of years ago.

Perhaps you could find out what builder they used?
