Does EPS shrink with time?
On the following link a comment was made that I have concerns :

“On the foam, two layers is better than one, with seams taped on both layers, and overlapped by a foot. Over then next 40 years the EPS is going to shrink a bit, but the performance hit won’t be too bad if the seams are overlapped and still reasonably air-tight.”

I was thinking of using a product called InSoFast because of the Embedded Polypropylene Attachment Studs, but after reading the comment above, Will this cause more problems than it’s worth later in the future?
