> I am interested in bonding a veneer grade plywood to a 3" or thicker eps foam to create a panel that could go to the interior of a conventionally wood framed structure, where the stud cavity is left outside the thermal envelope to provide a ventilation and drain plain.  The panel could primarily be self supporting and could give an attractive finish, depending on the plywood panel selected.  By locating to the interior side of the structure, we can achieve continuity.
