Default Re: chicken wire options?

Just finished my daughters oven using fibre in the outer render mix instead of chicken wire. It was more difficult to apply because it didn't have the chicken wire to grab onto, but as soon as I got about 6 inches up where it starts to slope in, it was much easier. It really holds the mix together. A blob just hangs off the trowel. If it doesn't work and the shell cracks, I'll have to attack it with another layer using chicken wire. This outer shell is only 10mm thick.
