On a home I am currently building (concrete block) we are putting in the lower levels of ‘blue’ board on the exterior so we can back fill (varying from 2′ to 4′)…the rest of the ‘blue’ board and the cement stucco will go on months later. Do you have experience/ideas on protecting the foam from UV damage? One of my thoughts was to use latex paint. I wonder if it would stick for what might amount to a year or longer and, also, what to do at the edges where we will want to glue the continuing pieces on later?
