[Cob] Clay tiles over earthen floors

[Bill Wright, L.Ac., DNBAO]

Hi All, 

Graeme: by, "lime putty" do you mean a, "pre-mix" that you purchased? Or
did you hydrate a NHL Lime? If so, What # of NHL did you use? 

Thanks! 

Bill

thing I thought I will pour some concrete sublayer over existing cobfloor, to leveling and straighten it. But then I've read Ziggi's ( theyearofmud.com) post on how he tiled his earthen floor using clay as adhesive. And I thought, maybe that is the way? What do yoy guys think? Basically, will it stay in place? :) Also plan to ask Ziggi.
