Here's a link to the product: QuikWall

Here's a picture of a pond we built, showing the walls and waterfall area before we applied the spray-on liner. All the white is QuikWall, which we use on walls to fill spaces and create a smooth surface: QuikWall on pond wall

Because of the fiberglass fibers and high lime content, it has to be put on with gloved hands.

Before we actually spray in the liner, we have to burn off the fiberglass fibers that are sticking out (Burning off fibers). I'm not sure if I'd have to do this for tikis.

Because of our pond building I have a lot of experience with QuikWall. Our typical way of using it is to fill a mortar pan about half full, then push the powdery QuikWall toward one end. We put water in the other end, then using gloved hands, we "drag" some of the powdered QuikWall into the water and mix it into a paste of whatever consistency we need for that handfull. By leaving the QuikWall in powder form, and mixing it one handful at a time, we have total control of how thick or thin each bit is. That's one of the reasons I think it'll be perfect for tikis. I can mix a really putty-thick handful for a nose or brow ridge, and a thinner sour-cream consistency when I want to create smooth, flat large areas.
