(This is per plaster batt, you could make a thinner layer and spread it across two batts but I prefer the thicker ones. Additionally, you can place chicken wire into the mould and pour the plaster over to strengthen them. I've always used thicker batts as they tend not to get over saturated too quickly).
Let me know if you've got any questions in the comments below and as always, thanks for watching.
