[papercreters] SIP - variations

I was looking over this site and thought to myself, if papercrete could
be poured like the EPS foam between two sheets of OSB

+++++++++++++

to my memory Bob  people have done a similar thing and used huge sheets of cardboard.

 there had to be time allowed for it to get wet then dry again, and the PC was a dry mix well drained so it did not make puddles.

In Germany they are making thin SIPs with a sheet of fabric ( cheesecloth or similar) and layer of clay/then cloth laid at right angel, then clay to make a Wall panel that can be a room divider, etc.

 you could also use burlap, and newspaper to test as an inner layer or even the outer layer and  save on plywood/osb,


 the stoves and fridges come in huge cardboard boxes that can be cut down, and there is a ton of ugly wall paneling getting taken to the dump by re modelers, so that can be a cheap surface too.

good luck and keep us posted.
