The lime plaster mix requires fibres, about an inch long, that help to bind the plaster to the mesh that we've fixed over the laths. We haven't been able to find any ready made fibres, so Dave came up with cutting up old rope from the boat. You slice it longways and then pull it apart. It deconstructs into perfect little fibres that can be strewn into the mix as it tumbles.
