Multiple coats would ease application. Harl coat, scratch, coat and brown coat. Harl coat is a thin slurry that you dash on. It fills a lot of the bigger gaps and crevices and provides a surface for the scratch coat to adhere to. I believe your product was much too thick. Also, wetting the walls before application improves adhesion. Hats off to you for using earthen plaster. I will check out your other videos to see how it turned out.

what about adhersion? you don't need to prime wall first ?

[@christopherfisher128]

In case you haven't gotten an answer yet. Normally moistening the substrate with H2o is recommended for adhesion. If it is brick, or natural stone, this may not be needed. If it is wood, or metal (like straps over bales of straw brick etc.) you are trying to cover, adding a cover layer of burlap over the wood, or metal, will allow the clay to adhere to it. Hope that helped, cheers.
