Is adhesive scrim as good, though? With jute scrim, the plaster
coats it & the board face - with stick-on scrim the plaster can
only go on one face, and doesn't fill gaps.... eh?

The gaps are big compared with the material -- the plaster goes
right through it. The stuff is only slightly tacky anyway -- just
to hold it in place until you cake it in plaster. The sticky
doesn't and isn't meant to form any part of the strength of the
finished plasterwork.
