> > Who informed you that plastering a cob wall requires lathe??  That is a
misconception.  The natural irregularities in a cob wall and the
compatibilities of mud on mud is all that is needed, to create a strong
finish. It has been found that mud plasters can be directly applied to
strawbale structures as well. Concrete stuccos on the other hand seem to
require lathe, as the materials are not as compatible with possible serious
consequences to the integrity of the structure. Sincerely Anikke Storm
