Bonding insulating material to plaster
Cracking of plaster applied to cellular plastics is influenced by shrinkage and differences in thermal expansion and conductivity; polystyrene foam has no physical properties that facilitate easy bonding, but this obstacle can be surmounted with support for plaster -- wire netting, wood-wool slab, reed matting, or expanded metal; simpler and more elegant method is to apply thin coat of commercial building adhesive, followed by plaster ground coat; soft plasters lessen tendency to crack (gypsum would be ideal but is not suitable for exterior use); latex-bound plasters are particularly adapted for use with expanded polystyrene.
