@LUK0BA Thanks for taking the conversation a bit further. I do agree that most people (at least in most of the U.S.) aren't very familiar with earth building. It sounds like you have some knowledge on the topic. Please continue to add your thoughts.
@LUK0BA I've read many natural builders talk about the benefits of using all natural materials because they "breathe"- balancing humidity levels, filtering the air-, but if you add things like cement or asphalt as stabilizers they lose these qualities.
I used lime and clay on straw woodfiber and brick and blocks we have been using the plastering technology since the Roman times and is still going strong keep it up better for the planet and last as long as a Roman building
I believe it is like glue. Often referred to as wheat paste. I believe the mixture is watery in some settings. Years ago there was an Instructable on building furniture out of laminated cardboard, they were using wheat paste as the adhesive.
I am wanting to plaster my home in east Texas. I have plenty of red clay, sand and pine needles on my property and am curious if I could have some consulting work or even laborious work done? Any contact information?
i would love to know how he fixed the burlap to the walls??? I want to use a natural plaster on my interior walls (wood stud covered with boards). Anyone got any suggestions?
You can just make a clay slip and soak your burlap in it. Then wet the surface you’ll be adhering it to with water and smooth the clay slip soaked burlap onto it. The natural suction will hold it in place until it dries and you can then plaster directly over it.
@kirstendirksen I agree with you on the video description. It depends where (Climate) you leave and building & fire codes. You can use trickle vents, louvre windows or utilize stack effect to ventilate the house. You have an international audience, my comment was aimed at alerting your viewers there are alternatives out there.
@kirstendirksen At 0;45 he states not to use cement. Houses using earth and cement are very common, in commonwealth countries they're usually called semi permanent houses. The benefit of doing this is as a security deterrent.
He talks about cement stukko applied on raw earthen walls. This is an absolute no-go and I guess also not was is applied in the semi permanent houses you are talking off. They most likely use something like stabilized earth where they mix cement into the earthen wall. Which is debatable too, as @kirstendirksen said :)
@tom riddle You're welcome. I was just assuming not really knowing. It doesn't prosper to argue without knowledge. Like you said it takes a mature person to except he was wrong in assuming wrong. I am really a quiet person in reality. I am usually the one who only speaks when I am certain about things or I will say I think this or that.

Earthen plasters have been applied in rural India for ages.

We still build these kind of houses in Karakalpakstan. It is a part of Uzbekistan. Uzbekistan is a state in Central Asia.
Awesome
