[GSBN] Exterior plaster sealer?

[John Swearingen]

I'm familiar with Darrel's house, one of my favorite sights along the coast,
and I can tell you that wood will not bend enough to clad this house!  I've
long been a fan of siloxanes, though and I'm happy to see from John
Straube's post, that they will work with a mix without cement.   They are
very long lasting and do provide breathability which is important in an
environment that is naturally humid to begin with.
