I worked for Fibersteel Corp. in the early 70’s and have posted info below on the Laminated Ferro Cement process and some video of the Fibersteel drydock (with a Valeo 55 sailboat in it) and the mold building. Fibersteel Corp. built the Valeo 55′ yacht in a female mold by embedding several layers of expanded metal lath into an acrylic mortar mix producing a layup without voids and with a comparable finish to fiberglass.
- Here is the video I filmed in 87 while visiting Fibersteel in West Sacramento CA, Fibersteel in ’87 it is quite slow to load.
- To learn more about Laminated Ferro Cement the best and primary site for all things ferrocement is the FEN (Ferrocement Education Network): http://ferrocement.net there you will find all your answers if they are known, and a group of great people including world experts on LFC (Laminated Ferro Cement). There is also a bit more info on the Fibersteel process.
