RE: New build in Africa
@steadyonabix the fabric is a close knit polyester, similar to landscape fabric or fiberglass insect screen. Discussion has been considered using EIFS or stucco mesh, a much more economical product. I advocate trying burlap also.

@steadyonabix
Could the stucco and fabric be added to the form prior to pouring the Aircrete?
Quikrete suggested a product called re-cap resurfacer -
RE: New build in Africa
@steadyonabix ICFs (insulated concrete forms) are similar. I'm questioning Aircrete's ability to bond well with metal.
YouTube has HoneyDo Carpenter building a shed, pouring Aircrete into a metal stud panels reinforced with hardware cloth. Worked for him.
My experience is the galvanized wire separated from the Aircrete. I'm trying to bond a durable surface on an Aircrete brick or as a paver.
Any ideas? -

@Ignacio-DHOME
I see your point about the mesh, like paper on drywall.
A question please...
I bought APOC 482F polyester roofing reinforcement fabric to understand your process. How and why did Domegaia choose that product. I picked up the $13 roll of polyester landscape fabric (3'x25') and other than color - no difference.
I soaked pieces of both in non-shrink grout this weekend (a variety of other fabrics too) to compare. Burlap-crete recommended the grout.I also am considering the EIFS mesh (Exterior insulation foam system)

@Ignacio-DHOME thanks.
I bought a Ridgid dual paddle mixer from the factory outlet, cheap. I'm looking forward to learning how to use it.
Our weather should be dry and almost 60 degree Sunday. -

Stable Air has made that decision a business decision. Foam is easy!!What the difficulty is using the foam for residential home construction.

Mixing in a bag?
Lowe's sells sand in 1/3 CU Yd (9-sq ft) bag.
The strap handles allow the forklift to hold it.
1/3 of a cubic yard is a little larger than a 55 gallon barrel. Would it hold the Aircrete slurry and foam mix?I've seen a 77 gallon barrel, after that I'm thinking about something like a stick tank from the farm store. Cutting a fuel drum off might be an option, so I can mix up to five bags. I see YouTube from Asia with a 'transmission' or pan mixer operated by a very efficient team. I'm alone until my business explodes!!
I've seen really sexy continuous mixers like this sleek Italian model

I remember a post from a 67 year old man thinking the same. The Italian machine and American competitors make machines to mix floor leveler or wall plaster. Nothing with Aircrete.What I see with Aircrete is blasting out of a hose as land fill or bubbling out of a pipe. That hose is often connecting a ready-mix truck to a huge foam machine. The foam is easy to produce, see those fire suppression systems.
