Cob: fibrous paper & reinforcementTaylor Publishing-DirtCheapBuilder tms at northcoast.comMon Aug 11 11:42:12 CDT 2003
Wow! This stuff you're talking about -- is it an homogenous mix, or a lime-plaster coat on a papercob structure? +++++++++ yes it is a single dense mix.. you need to play with the clay and lime to test what will work in your area...dipping burlap into clay or cement slip will work as a cover on papercrete. Not sure what waterproofer to use on cement, but a simple lime plaster will work on most materials it is applied too...after all castles and colleseums have been built with it for centuries, and it's been raining all that time too.
