I’ve got a block-stucco interior wall with a curved corner approx 5-foot radius
How the hell to fasten 2″ of styrofoam (blue) ?????? I can just see the glue coming loose one day 🙁
I’ll mesh & plaster once its up there.
TIA

One option might be to use 1/4, or 1/2" if flexible enough, layers and build/glue them up successively until you've got the thickness you need.
Inside corner or outside corner?
I would cut the board into vertical panels with beveled edges- kind of like coopering a barrel.

Thanks,
It's an inside corner. I'm just leery of depending on glue for the long haul.
I was considering using 2 layers of 1" and 3/16" plywood. Then driving ramset nails into the block. assuming the 1" will bend enough.
Or maybe leaving gaps in 2" strips & filling with urethane foam?

Filling the gaps with urethane foam sounds like a good way to go, then rasp off the excess.
Good luck.
