[Cob] Different plastersRB 4rb at blog.ltSat Sep 9 14:40:23 CDT 2006
Hello everyone, I have an idea to use different plasters on the same wall. Lime plaster on the lower part of the wall where for shure it will receive rain. And clay plaster on the upper part of the wall (protected by roof). Clay plaster seems more friendly for my hands and is better for breathing wall. But I have some doubts about possible cracking between two different plasters (different expanding rate?) and about wetness travelling up the lime plaster and destroing clay plaster (we have a lot of "rain during the day- cold at night"). The wall is more light clay then cob. The wall and the house under development can be seen at: www.blogas.lt/RB
