We made the daub from water, powdered clay, sand and grit, and chopped hay in roughly equal proportions by volume, mixed it by hand in two plastic half-barrels, then spread out on a large wooden board in front of the furnace to evaporate some of the water.
It was then either bagged up for use in building the furnaces or used to make the furnace 'furniture' (collars, stoppers, bricks, etc.)
