[papercreters] Re: Papercrete as insulation and other questions....

This raises a question that needs to be resolved.  Does anyone know when you are plastering a pc wall with pc plaster if you need to wait until one coat dries before adding additional coats?  Going over a wall while wet, I've had some plaster layers fail to bond and thought this might be the reason why.  The cause of this may be the fact that pc shrinks as it dries.  Anyone have expertise on this?
Also would like to share a tip on building domes and vaults:  1 1/2 parts paper to one part type N or S Richmortar makes a very sticky mortar that will hold 10" by 10" pc blocks vertically.
