Fw: Garden Pathways

Square Foot Gardening List - http://www.flinet.com/~gallus/sqft.html

I wouldn't worry about it particularly if your garden uses raised beds. 
The glues will probably leach a small amount of formaldehyde.  In the
open, most of that formaldehyde will evaporate.  It will also bind to
organics and clay in the soil and microbes will convert it to harmless
chems.  I wouldn't break it up to use as a mulch until it was very
composted.  It will eventually get that way in the paths and could then
be shovelled into the garden.

We have some extra sheathing left from an old roofing job and would like
to use it for pathways in our sqft. garden.  My question is whether the
glues used in this composite material are likely to leach toxic
chemicals into the garden.  Anyone else used this in their gardens?
Thanks in advance,
