>G'morning people of the mud... > >New line of questioning... How about covering the outside of a cob wall >(or structure) with a mosaic of tile? A friend of mine is interested in >cob as a base for her mosaic art - m Tile doesn't breathe too >well, and neither would the grout I imagine (a form of cement?). Bedding the tiles in a pure lime:sand plaster would work. No cement at all it will weaken the mix...just lime and sharp sand, against a cob wall this was traditional anyway, so breability is not hindered, and the earth to lime contact is beneficial.
