Gene: I have not, but would be very interested in what you find out. We put stucco on 50% of our projects. Ian
*Ian. How processed cellulose differs from regular cellulose I do not know. I understand that they are produced for use in cement-based materials. The product used in the research is called Fabroset and is produced by a firm in Lansing, Michigan called DPD, Inc. I got their telephone number from directory assistance, but got a recording I could not understand. I left word. Perhaps readers of this page who live near or in Lansing could help? I'll keep you posted as I get more information. GeneL.
