Thank you for this very informative vid. I am doing repairs to a 25 year old structure and finding the final layer keeps cracking. I have tried wetting the original surface and then applying a finer, wet mix of mud, but it is still cracking. Maybe the tapioca and oil is the answer?
Hallelujah! Days of wonders is still valid ! What a wonderful knowledge to share. thank you,sir, for your great and worksome efforts and sharing.God bless☺
I sent a message to the WhatsApp subscribers more than four years ago and told them about the method of making smooth blocks Just purify the agricultural soil from stones by one hundred percent, then add the amount for example ninety four percent soil and six percent cement and make the blocks by molds as cement blocks are made but do not light a fire on it and by changing the quantities if you want to change the strength or weaken the block.

Awesome! Does this natural plastering method work for colder climates too, like Germany or Canada? I've just known that lime plaster mixes exist, but really wanted something more affordable and natural, like this tapioka mix... Hope to hear from you!
I’ve been looking into this as well- currently building- mud / cob is not good for cold climates by itself- only thermal mass, not much insulation. I’m going to experiment with a wood stick build with cellulose insulation and a cob interior plaster and lathe inside. I’m hoping there is enough of a gab between it and the vapor barrier it’s ok/ no mold. Was considering skipping the vapor barrier but it’s extremely cold where I am and it seems more essential than in other climates... it makes it much warmer. Hopefully works out
couldn’t this be done on the outside of any type of materials? like a day an old wooden shack that you wanna reside? why not make mud player for the outside walls?
It could. As long as there is no termite issue in the area. Also depends on what the objective is, as mud plastering would primarily be to cool the house down? Also something to look into would be how the first layer of plaster(mud and rice husk mix) would stick to the wood. As in this case its mud sticking to mud.... it sticks easier than it would be mud. So theres a few things to consider.
5 litees of water. 500gms or tapioca flour. 1 litre of cooking oil. You will need to experiment a little up or down, depending of the materials you have in each country. But this is the general formula. Once u get a mix, blend it with about 25kg of fine mud(make sure its fine after sifting through a net). And then look for the right mix that will stick to the wall once u apply a thin layer. Good luck!
Thanks for sharing this excellent technique. I tried this recently and the finish is fantastic, tapioca flour did all the magic to me earthen walls. I wish I could have shared with you some pictures.
Thank you for the interesting and useful video. I just want your feedback on whether this type of plaster can be used for a boundary wall without preventing or protecting from direct rain.
You can plaster a mud house with cement but you lose a very important quality that a mud house has, it's breathability. No one who lives in a mud home would ever recomend this.
Awesome! my dream is to build my very own mud house here in the Philippines. I am so inspired by you guys! Thank you so much! Tapioca Flour Plaster is mind blowing!
Hi m.f. tiles can be done by i think it would be a tough one. Because u would need something that hardens stronger than mud. So we think concrete would have to come in too though.
@@OurLand Would it be okay if concrete is applied to the outer part of the mud wall for tiles? Would that have any negative effect on the mud wall, hmmm... 🤔 Or maybe I'm guessing the tiles can just stick well enough on the mud, by using mud itself as the mortar, or maybe that's a bad idea?
Straw or hay chopped into pieces not more than 1-2 inches could also do..but it would also make the mixing much harder as now your binder is longer than the small rice husk. But rice straw is commonly used.
