Just a quick note about our limited experiments with different
formulas around our barn.
We made very crude molds right on the ground to create a retaining
wall to hold gravel in the barn to raise the level of the floor. The
formula was always basically the same except in one section we added
an acrylic water proofing, another latex and another section without
either.
In spite of some tremendous rains and a pretty darn wet winter and
spring, the acrylic and plain papercrete has held up and remained
hard enough to continue to do its job of holding the gravel in.
To our surprise the two sections with the latex paint added got soft
and even either eroded away or the horses managed to crush it with
their weight. So much for using latex as a means of making
papercrete more water proof. For whatever reason we found just the
opposite to be true.
Has anyone else had good or bad luck adding latex as well?
Inquiring minds wanna know.
