[papercreters] Papercrete Formulas



We have a volunteer to build the database to hold our formulas! I quickly knocked out a wish list -

---
We need an entry form that will allow selections from a "standard" list of ingredients like portland cement, water, borax, boric acid, sand, perlite, lime, latex paint, etc.
We need to be able to enter "special" ingredients that are not already in the "standard" list, either appended to the "standard" list or a separate list.
Each ingredient should have a quantity, by weight preferably.
Type of mixer such as tow mixer, no-tow mixer, electric (with hp and configuration), power spray washer, plaster blade in a bucket, other (with description). Possibly attached photo(s) of the mixer.
Length of time for mix.
There should be a text field for description and results including final strength (type of testing done), time to set, time to cure, time to completely dry.
Person posting
Area/State/Country of use.

Ideally there should be reports generated from ingredient searches, mixer type, or results. This in addition to being able to just browse formulas.
---

If anyone can think of additional requirements, please post them so we can have them incorporated. No idea on ETA of the DB, I'm sure it will take some time.
