[papercreters] Re: Mold

Hay Bob,

Impressive work here, the blocks are uniform size, you added pigments, and floated each pour nice and smooth.
Especially liked the ingenious _T_ configuration.

Question,
Will this be an exterior wall to a living space/workshop?

The other thing I noticed was use of the flagstone mold to lay out a walkway, I thought papercrete doesn't do well exposed to moisture, so I'm wondering how well those walkway flagstones will hold up long term. I'm just curious.
Also, since papercrete is lighter than conventional aggregate mix, is it well suited as walkway pieces?

Anyway, keep up the good work and please do share more photos with us.
