[papercreters] Re: Asphalt Emulsion Mix Ratios -- and Other Interesting Stabilizers

Do note that the tried and proven mixes above apply to adobe making. Quentin uses a very similar asphalt emulsion ratio when working with "fidobe" -- which is much closer to clay-soil-based papercrete. (It's an adobe that includes a generous amount of paper fiber in its mix. Makes a lighter and more insulating brick.)

You WILL need to experiment with the mix ratios to find what works well with your soil type and ingredients.

Would LOVE to hear from others who have experimented with papercrete and asphalt emulsion about what proportions worked best for you.
