  • Yes, it will be a type of ferrocement structure based on a very thick hollow armature that uses very thin surface shells. Check out the other videos to see the armature. Getting plaster footage has been hard because it just gets crazy when the shell is going on. It is pretty basic hawk and trowel application though. One thing that is important, we have to make sure the hand trowel pressure is not too great. You want the mix to press through the eyelets in the lath only a little bit.
