Re: [papercreters] Dome Mix / Usage was Papercrete Lessons

We are actually using a 1/4" of a PC mix. It was far richer in cement and lime than I would normally use in papercrete, but I want the strength for this application.


5 gallon bucket
- 1/2 bucket strained/shredded paper
- 1 gallon prickly pear
- 2.5 cups lime
- 6 cups Portland
- 4 cups #3 blast sand

The dome insulation is dry enough to encase. It has been doing a good job of not getting to wet despite all the moisture coming through the area. There is plenty of ventilation.

The batteries are charged with 2kW of PV's. We are not going to capture the hydrogen.
