Thanks Harriet. One layer of burlap sounds a lot more reasonable.  I've got 
a big roll of it just waiting to go somewhere!

Ernest Flagg's Small Houses of 1930 or so shows two plasterers working on 
opposite sides of a burlap panel. For the first coat they worked against 
each other. He said it made a thin strong wall as an interior partition.

Can these "lehmbauplatte" be used as wall partitions?
It sounds like he's using 8-10 layers of burlap. It doesn't sound very
economical unless you're getting free fabric from somewhere. But it's
still interesting if it will work for a thin wall.
