Would love to be able to afford that course on plaster! Mine is failing… lol I broke my hip and hired a kid to help me. I think he got the mix wrong. Grrr

Thanks so much for your hard work and inspiration. I have recommended your book to several people here in Todos Santos, Bakja California Sur

Have you signed up for the free introduction course? Here's the link to that. https://www.themudhome.com/earthplaster-sign-up.html

If I could give one piece of advice it would be to test very small batches before doing a large area. Test test test, it's the only way.

Thanks I think I've taken it but I'll double check. The thing is that we used a Mexican recipe for this and it includes Nopal cactus baba. Where it's failed however is where I had a failure in the overhang on the roof and it eroded a little bit so that's self-explanatory. It's on the side of the house facing where there's no overhang and that's just balling off a big chunks. But he was impatient and I think he just screwed up the mix. It's the sideof the house that I just did not participate in at all because of the broken hip it's been a disaster. But I'm on My feet again. I just tiled my bathtub and Saltillo floor. I'm 72 by the way. Old but not in my head. Oh I could go on and on and on write my own book here.
