Part two of the Parabolic Stress Skin Construction Process describing an insulated foundation design based in thin plates of ferrocement in a fully insulated form
I like to figure about 35 dollars per mix. Each mix covers 40 square feet of shell. It is the same if you are doing 2 to 4 embedded layers, the LFC style, or just a coat or two over expanded metal lath. Even with all the fancy ingredients, this mix should be about the same or cheaper than the good ole 1 cement and 2 sand mix which is also plenty strong but this mix makes much more material. Also, no shrinkage and the shell is protected for good by the closed cell aeration.
hey Doug!--check out my ferrocement vid using fer-a-lite...a synthetic morter...

SO WHEN do you actually get to the plastering part? awful lot of talking, not much demonstration.
