  • No trouble forcing through. The penetration into the lath is controlled by the amount of fibers. You don't want to exceed 4 compacted quarts of the two fibers.

  • Doug-when you plaster the outer skins- do you have any trouble forcing the morter through the mesh since you are using 3/4 inch steel fiber??

  • That 3cubic feet mix you did seems to have a lot of additives.. . are you sure this is way cheaper that brick?

  • whats a bag of this cost with additives etc?

  • Man I like this stuf. I have loved learning everything I can about ferro cement structures. AND I personally love the way these designs look. Thanks Doug ! I am going study this technology more !

  • Great job Doug!

    Thank you for sharing your great ideas.
