the stone doesn't react with the soap, the olive soap reacts with the lime in the plaster to create the scum that makes the surface waterproof. The stone closes up the fine pores in the surface and shines the wall. A high quality Venetian Plaster trowel or Japanese trowel can replace the stone, I've even seen plastic trowels used. Nice job by the way, looks amazing
first of all the stone does close the pores and distributes the lime as well as pops any unburned lime (its own aggregate). no trowel on earth can replace the stone...but i am talking about tadelakt not venetian plastering tadelakt like been shown in the video
Batsheva Medows its more aimed at the plasterer but plenty of painters use it with a bit of training. Look up a guy on Instagram called "exotic wall finishes" I think he trades out of NY. His work is amazing, but its more Venetian Plastering than Moroccan. He'll know where to get the product you're after.
Great video, was wandering if mesh wasn't applied does anything bad can happen? Does this really protects against cracking? I have applied lime coat first on plasterboard wall, but missed mesh. Any ideas if something bad may follow? Thanks for reply
Settling movement, you mean? Thermal stress should be insignificant I would think. It is not traditionally reenforced, and seems to hold up well (but, of course, they had cleverer architects and builders too, and chose their sites more carefully).
I wonder too. I live in the north east, wonder if this is only valid in dry climates? Building a tiny house and would love to do this in my shower, but need more info.
Can you list the name of the ingredients in the order they go over the wood :) thank you for your knowledge

Are you kidding? How are you supposed to polish all those walls with that tiny stone? Does it take a week to polish??
Oh heck..

How much time to prepare and finish one square meter? Or sqaure foot for you Imperials?
Doing a five bathroom house can you get a big stone. Because boy that little stone look like I'll be hear a long time.

Avatars Den this kind of plaster doesnt require mesh, the first coat you apply works as a bonding agent
Based on the thermal and mechanical movement the finish might crack, especially as this is a very thin and hard coating.
