Jack..there is information on mixes in some of the Scottish materials on
historical buildings..I'll see if I can find a specific mix and I'll post
it.

Most of what they tell is EVERY material used: turf, bools, creel-house
(wattle/daub) and fales, etc..odd words but very good info.


the daub will be a different mix than cob as it neads to be spreadable to
infil all the woven wattle.

sounds like a cool project!
