Jay Cee,

I definitely see what you're getting at.

Well, the high-density pink foam is fairly dense stuff. I know that it is being used under some of the WarmBoard type of installations.

The way I was envisioning it would be to spread construction adhesive with a pretty fine notched trowel between the layers of foam/mdf(OR OSB)/Winderboard. I figure that would immobilize the structure enough so that it wouldn't start that "working" that you described.
