Other uses for Kemset Ekoplast-50 plaster finishes. • Stucco walls with lime...
These straw bales and similar structures have been around since the beginning of time.
They keep humans safe from freezing rains and cold weather, as well as predators with large teeth and appetites.
The materials change or adapt from cob, which is clay, sand, and straw, to dirt, and yes, Dung, to lime stucco and many other outer skins for waterproofing.
Stray bale homes can't burn as once covered, there is "no oxygen" for a fire to start or remain started; one just needs to watch the old movie Backdraft, directed by Ron Howard in 1991, with Kurt Russel and Robert DeNiro, to understand this concept.
And no, rodents, such as mice or rats, can't live in it as the straw can't be used can't be used as food.
Actually, mice can live in it, as they can live in anything with holes, such as straw, caves, wood, or even steel structures.
But these critters would still need to come out of hiding to eat edible food, drooped by us untidy humans. I'm sure they love pizza crumbs.
FYI, Kemset Ekoplast 50 is a Lye free plaster;
The phone for sales of Kemset products is 562-285-2790.

Kirk, I watch many of your videos and make my guys do it too - before we do any plastering. But, I gotta say that what you call "plastic" is mostly portland cement with some amount of lime in it - maybe 15%. Same stuff commonly used for stucco. Does not "breathe". The Ekoplast seems very cool and definitely looks like it "breathes".

weewillywanka5904 asked a simple question. I'll try to get a better answer. Clearly, when you say that this wall is 6"-7"-8" thick, it is not that thickness to the bales. Even where and when you showed us that you were inserting your finger"all the way in", your were inserting less than an inch. Seven 40# bags would not come close to such thicknesses.At least not in more than a few filled in spots or holes. I'm guessing those thicknesses are referring to the variance of the wall rather than the actual depth of the material being applied. The 3/4"to1" thick window casings being still proud of the finished surface makes this even more obvious. I too am somewhat confused as to why you would not clarify this. In the trades we have a saying, "teaching enough to make someone dangerous"... With all due respect, it seems like this is the case.
@StuccoPlastering
@StuccoPlastering 5 ай бұрын
@@lukula2934 we did use 7 bags, unless you have used this material and are a professional, you can’t be expected to understand how much and how thick it can be applied. Normal stucco depth for covering straw-bales is about 3 inches thick. Even if the bales are stacked perfectly, these were not stacked for perfection intentionally. Thus three to 9 inches gives the wavy look they were seeking. The wall waviness is in all directions. You don’t have to understand this, I do.
