| Hello Sparkway: Haven't any experience (yet) with the Quickwall but do know about fiberglass insulation in a mix. Save it for your attic ! Don't waste an otherwise good mix by adding insulation. Been there done that and it does not work. Packrat |

| Keep it Simple No need to add the Fibermesh to your first project - or any other small project. If you use the basic ingedients Portland Cement, Peat Moss and Perlite and carfeully add water your project will turn out fine. You will get a better ( stronger?) projects if you concentrate on not using too much water and allowing the finished product to cure slowy. LOL Mike |
