[Cob] RE: cob plaster

[Mary Lou McFarland]

Exactly how fine does the shreaded straw for the plaster coat need to be?  
I've had some experience with "horsehair" plaster  (tearing out only), has 
anyone tried other fibers such as hair or  hemp rope fibers, cut and 
separated?  It seems to me that finer is better but just how fine...1/2 
inch...1/4 inch lengths?
