you mean using a form of size 2'x8' and 1/4 inch isn't that very thin
for a wall?
for building a panel for a wall of about 20-30 cm width and the size
of 2mx3m. how can I feel the form? how should the form be constructed?
does it need holes for breathing?
is there any pictures which I can look through and know more about
this process?
thanks and with regards
