Bob wrote--- from a patent?
A liquid coal tar or asphalt emulsion is put on a plastic item. The
emulsion may be sprayed on or brushed on the item. If the surface is
flat, the emulsion may be rolled on.
Immediately after the emulsion is applied to the surface of the plastic
item, the item is sprayed with sand, or rolled in sand, or has sand hand
thrown onto it. As the emulsion dries, the sand sticks to it. This makes
a perfect base on which to apply the wet stucco.

APPLYING AE AND EMBEDDING NETTING OR Other FIBER MESH IS what I suggested, and what I have done to steel and metal surfaces and dry flat particleboard. I took a metal clotheswasher drum and coated it this way.
By Using a lime and paper plaster mix- with just fine nylon fibers ( no sand or cement) - I was able to get the "lime-papercrete" to stick very well to the steel drum I made into a flower planter. the fiber netting will hold materials also without the weight of the sand. also a cup of clean sand is used in primer paint on walls for the new "natural clay paints" to give the wall tooth to hold the clay/lime paints or plasters.
I built up a new layer to a final coat, that is still holing up after 4 years in all weather outside. the liquid laundry bluing I used as a pigment has faded away ( naturally) since it is NOT actually a color at all. but the blue color itgave as new was fantastic.
Lastly since the metal is flexing, have a fiber mesh tape which WILL flex since it is soft, and having the tiny nylon fibers in the cross meshing action in any plaster will also allow for flex and impovement without cracking.
The japanese have gone far in a this new tiny PVA fiver ( not nylon ) that actually replaces rebar as the tensile strength, thousands of crisscrossed fibers in their cement slabs are holding together well.
look ay their site. I bought a big bag of this stuff and use it in all my mixes as an extra boost. you can buy it $120 approx for a 40 lb sack.,
because of the papercontent in regular papercrete I do not know how much it OULD ADD, but I also dont see it as a hinde3raqnce in any way sioce it is
AE is a great sticky starting point
I will see if I can upload the staqrt to finish steel frum project to the photo file
