Interesting.
You've seen plaster on cellplast, but I'm also wondering about using plaster. How do you attach the reinforcing mesh? I assume you can't staple it to plaster?
With long staples, you can attach it to wooden studs, but won't that be too sparse?
On TV, I've seen that in the USA they apply plaster to plywood, but that can't be good, right? It moves, after all. Maybe it's not a problem in the dry climate.
