[papercreters] Re: Blowing Papercrete like stucco??? Passive Solar Books?

Hi Spaceman, Happy New Year.

What mixture do you recommend for your sprayed papercrete?

I've made some samples using blown paper installation I bought from Home Depot and measured everything by weight. The one that looked good was 1 part paper, sand and cement with 7 parts water. It kept it's shape well (retained it's sharp edges from the mold)and didn't shrink much.

I'd also like to build a pipe dome and cover it with pre-fab panels.

Thanks, Joel
