Dylan,

I have found this sprayed on Everything before also, it is generally related to Everything it is sprayed on is F-ed Up beyond repair, and this is a temporary solution to a large problem----...Looks nice until the shack sells, and hopefully soon because it generally starts falling off in huge chunks after one year...its simply the same as what would be sprayed from a hopper if it was popcorn, but an aggregate instead---

Guess I read wrong.
Thought there was something about asbestos.

Dale & Brian,

Take a peek at the plumbing section for more on this gem

I have seen this type of thing before. Back in the 70's a company came out with a product that they said would seal up the exterior of cynder blocks thus creating a dead air space in the void inside. They said it helped insulate the interior of cynder block buildings. It cam in 5 gallon buckets and was applied with a roller. It cracked at every joint after about a year of exposure to the elements. Can't remember the name of it though. Sorry.
