Hello all.
I am in the process of learning to build things with cob. I've read Hand Sculpted House cover to cover and I have successfully made several bricks that were almost impossible to break and I feel confident in my ability to make the basic material.
My next goal is to make a cob oven and then attend a Cob Cottage Company workshop prior to building a house for myself and my spouse in the next few years.
However, even after reading HSH I am extremely uncertain about plasters to use on cob. I understand that under no circumstances should concrete or water impermeable plasters be used as they form a condensation barrier that can soak and ultimately destroy your home, but the plasters section did not provide me with any clear answers on a basic plaster recipe to play with.
Can someone point me in the right direction on plasters? In the meantime I will reread the plasters chapter to see if it isn't clearer this time around.
