I've been (and still am) cooking in the kitchen, pre-preparing for dinner tomorrow for seven at seven. But I wanted to let you know that in Halfland I did try applying the joint compound directly onto the Styrofoam last night (at 3 am =:/). It adhered well but the foam slice I was using was too thin. So this morning I glued two pieces together and left them weighted to dry while I ran errands all day. On the previous test panel, I didn't care for how hard it was to fill the mesh of the hardware cloth, even after three coatings I can still make out the mesh square texture. But I did like the heft and sturdy, rugged feel the triple decker cardboard/foam/wire sammich gave.

Looks like I picked the wrong week to give up going to OSH.
