Hello everyone! I am very new to the
cob building method and I recently saw some articles and images
online that show a cob house or building being finished with some sort of plaster coating. I kind of assumed that the cob would be
enough when smoothed, but these folks had very rough finished cob structures and the smooth texture of the walls came from a finishing plaster of some sort. I imagine the natural plaster threads will explain how this works, but I was wondering what others, who have used cob or have
experience with the substance, think about finished vs. unfinished.
Any suggestions? I want to start working on a
RMH design this summer as well as maybe building a small cob shed to get some practice before we go full tilt on a house one day. Thanks!
