[Cob] Earthen plaster & CEILINGSSamten Norbu earth2rodger at yahoo.comTue Jun 13 11:46:02 CDT 2006
hello all:) Would you share some wisdom?... I'm plastering a standard stud wall and am going to try my hand at lathe and plaster. I'm going to use standard 1/4 inch lathe, coat it with clay slip and do 2-3 coats of an earthen plaster. Any general suggestions? More importantly... I'm also wanting to plaster the ceiling which is at an angle of about 12 degrees, and I am worried about how the plaster will hold on such an overhang. Is it possible? Is lathe ok alone, or should I consider using stucco wire too? The plaster will be a standard earthen plaster with straw and manure fibre, final layers will be limewash... Many many thanks, Rodger writing from Windhorse farm in Nova Scotia __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!
