Question about Durospan GPS

3 Upvotes

I'd like to use the following: https://www.homedepot.ca/product/durospan-gps-r10-2-13-inch-x-48-inch-x-96-inch-r-value-10-gps-rigid-insulation-foam-board/1001211235

The plan is Durospan GPS R10 -> Framing -> Rockwool Mineral Wool R14. This is for interior basement walls, up against the basement foundation (poured concrete)

Originally I was going to use XPS, but the GPS is half the price and the same R rating so I'm thinking I order this. My issue now is that I can't actually find anything online confirming what kind of adhesive to use with this laminated board so that it adheres well, and doesn't damage the insulation.

Any recommendations/experience with this? I'm in Ontario, canada if it helps!
