Anyone out there have any ideas for hanging a 5' rad. arch w/ 5/8 Exterior gyp? Tried 6" rips soaked in water bath but they just broke. Specs call for Ext gyp w/ 1" foam and Drivit over. Any substitution must be GC /Arch. approved. It's on entryway 16' up. Back cutting might work but afraid the board would peel trying to get it up the scaffold.

curious as to how you made out darren did you end up using 5/8 exterior or did general contractor allow an alternative, i probably would have back cut and got a spare set of hands for install,don't know if i would have had the patience for the leaning for a day or two method, but probably would have worked.

Outside temp 13 F. Rips cut for job in solid block of ice. On hold until better weather. Still waiting for alternatives from USG rep. (emailed 1/22, no reply). Will probably build a form indoors unless given another option. Going to eat a lot of labor that way. Figure if I wait until EIFS shows up, GC will let me use 3 layers 1/4 hi-flex to complete. Keep you posted.
