I live near UNM so could go over and check it out.----- Original Message -----From: JUDITH WILLIAMSBarry Fuller emailed me recently about testing papercrete for the purpose of codes and such things. He says testing can be done at UNM for about $250. He didn't specify what testing but at least we know they do something useful to papercreters there. I would suggest you go to livinginpaper.
com and ask Barry. He's very good about returning emails and sharing information.

Doing a flammability test (even just a video) seems like a reasonable solution if no lab data can be obtained. I will propose it.

I have never seen any lab reports on papercrete smoldering, just strength tests. Why not take a pc panel and a 2x4 and drywall panel, and a torch, and do the test, maybe in his presence? He's a state inspector, right? Did he give you an idea of what he would consider acceptable "lab data"? Maybe something from NMSU would satisfy him.

Ideally I would see this as a mix chart of sand/clay/ cement/borons to paper ratios. I see plenty of web pages showing the 1:1 ratio of paper to cement will smolder. Even more stating the 1:4 ratio of paper to cement will not burn. I am just looking for something to take away liability from my building inspector. Yahoo!
