Waterproofing Roman wells with traditional Cocciopesto plaster

[@markpeters2254]

Thanks for this video. Would it be possible to get the mixing amounts grasello & cocciopesto for the finishing layer? And how dry should the layer be before you can grind it with a brick? I would love to do all our outside walls in this manner. About the soap and oil, would olio di lino work well with any natural soap? Sorry for all the questions, been looking for this a long time!

This must be the parent technique to tadelakt and other similar techniques, it is done in England (with lard) and in Mexico and Yemen, those use soap as in Tadelakt.

Grasello must be some fatty soap, just as in Tadelakt, as soap reacts with lime, creating the waterproof. I believe so as lard in Italian is "strutto".

Yes I very much want/need this recipe. I know of tadelakt but not this. Seems very similar.

We plan to have another video in the future explaining this concept in more detail.
