[Cob] Ferro Cement & CobOcean Liff-Anderson ocean at fireworksvenue.comSat Apr 17 13:03:18 CDT 2010
Ferro cement is impervious to water, often used to make water tanks. So it would make a great foundation for cob, however the cost is often prohibitive. Ferro cement is much more expensive than portland.
