Plaster recipe??
Hi, I built this outdoor shower with cinder blocks and stucco. I want to add cob walls around it. It has no covering. I am unsure if I should add portland or lime to the cob mix (or both) and what would be a good recipe or mix for plaster? Can hydrated type S lime work or does it have to be hydraulic? The climate is dry Northern Arizona. Thanks!
