I did do a test panel that was pc with AE dumped into it while in the liquid state. It worked well. That panel would float and did not absorb any water. It did give off a bit of an oil slick when it was new.
I left that panel sitting outside to see how it would weather, and the sun faded the almost black to a lighter grey, almost "normal" color for pc. At some point a helper probably threw it into a mixer load when we were recycling scrap, and it was never seen again. The last time I saw it there was no visible deterioration from the weather other than the faded color.

Hi Spaceman: Back in, I think it was 2002, on the other Yahoo group you responded to Charmaine Taylor's postings about using a clay - lime - paper - asphalt emulsion mix. You were planning to make a couple test bricks. Did you do that? I never saw the follow-up. (And I don't find it when I search the archives.) I did quite lurking in that group for about the last six years of the last decade so I may have just missed it and be failing to find it now. I was planning to add a small amount of asphalt emulsion to my mix for increased binding power and water resistance. Do you advise against that? Best, ken P.S. I think that discussion centered around trying to figure out the formula for what was once known as Rub-R-Slate. The precise formula apparently died with the substance's greatest promoter. ------------------------------------ Yahoo!
