COB
Posted on | October 18, 2008 | No Comments
The unevenness of bamboo can be compensated by using cob. Cob is mixture of cowdung, wheat husk and clay which are left to ferment for atleast 24 hours. Fermentation is known to produce lactic acid, (a polymer base) which also makes it . We have used cob with adobe which enables us to place bamboo vertically and/or horizontally without any problem in addition of having beautiful plastered surfaces.
