Subject: [papercreters] Re: Burlap-crete constructionHello Calle,
I would love to show examples of pallets and Burlap-crete. If you do find that site, please let me know.
John Annesley did a very good job describing the mixes he tried until he got to one that worked well for him.
I have received a contact email for the curator of the Maybeck collection that may also be helpful.
Best regards,
Nolan
