You guys should welcome the opportunity to dismiss rumors and mis-information.

I think we all want the opportunity to give accurate information, the empty negative comments and accusations of lying I could do without.

There have been previous accelerated aging tests posted the indicate EPS to have a life expectancy of 300+ years, which is a good reason to recycle and keep out of the landfills

I also "Agree" Keep EPS out of the landfill but keep it in your House as quality Insulation

Do you think osb sips would eventually delaminate? thanks Alexis [/quote] The best adhesive for EPS is......... Portland Cement, so that limites what you can bond other materials to it except more cement like materials. This is your only real inexpensive bond that may last foe ever + or - a few years.[/quote] Like ICFs? "Not"
