Cob: Use of Forms?

[Darel Henman]

The article, which I recommend be read by all, mentions that the straw
between layers was to help dry out (or wick out water)from the layer so
successive layers could be layed without waiting a day.  I tend to think
that this would break the monolithic binding between layers however.
