nice one Peter! We stopped briefly at Eutopia (not open) the last time we passed through Kaiwaka in the daylight, my kids (initially) thought I was making it up when I was telling them it was my uncle who had built so much of it :)

I have made ton's of Ferrocement as one of the last Ferrocement boat repair " Sandmen " As we were taught the hows & why's if ever we called it concrete the boss would curse "it's not bloody concrete " Ferrocement is water tight, concrete is not. My own recipe for Ferro is as follows . 2 finest sharp sand to 1 Portland No 5 cement after 15 % of the sand has been replaced with a pozzolan like DE or Fly ash add water re slump test and for boats I add a tiny amount of Trioxide crystals to eliminate the gas made when galv gets wet plaster on it causing a honeycomb effect ( not wanted on boats ) If applied with skill , a 2mm final skim coat over wire will see no cracking .I recently did a wall at Eutopia Cafe

Very similar to my mix... I use amorphous silica brand name microsilica.
