Hi Greg, thanks for the heads up. Mikey, the guy from Truth or
Consequences used the formula for exterior walls. My wife is in
drywall so getting 30 minute is no problem. I will ask Mikey.
Thanks again, Dave.

like that. I've heard of people using that to make the papercrete
smoother for sculptures, but for outdoor utility use, I think that
would make it too weak. I haven't done PC with drywall mud myself,
but I can definitely attest that it doesn't weather well, as I've
left pan scrapings outside in the weather before and even after it's
well dried, it still crumbles when it gets wet.
