RE: [PSUBS-MAILIST] milestone
Wow, great pictures, labor intensive indeed ! I'm so glad I'm done with
this phase, I would get so many wire cuts on my hands and arms it was
ridiculous, I'd be a bloody mess at the end of the day, no matter how
careful I was. All that nasty wire is finally sealed up.
This top part is what I just finished plastering ( below pic), I was able to
plaster it as it is shown in the picture. Having done that, I essentially
maintained the correct mateing with the bottom half of the clamshell piece.
After that top part cured I flipped it over and did the other side.

Brian,
I built a ferro-cement 26' party barge several years ago. It was
outside and upside down for plastering and we covered it with one
sheet of black plastic. We made sure that the ground was soaked
underneath, the temperature went up to 120 or so and cured in a few
days.
