Re: [papercreters] Re: Update on my project



found online:

1. Traditional Dirt (Blended Soils), Barley Straw (for fibrous bonding) Water Susceptible
2. Semi Stabilized Dirt (Blended Soils), Barley Straw and 4-5% Asphalt Emulsion Water Proof
3. Fully Stabilized Dirt (Blended Soils), Barley Straw and 8-10% Asphalt Emulsion Can be left exposed

"For fully stabilized adobe bricks, add 6 to 12 percent asphalt emulsion or Portland cement by weight to your mix."

This sounds about right based on what I remember of my one experiment ten years ago. It might be a good starting place even though pc is certainly not adobe. It might be more applicable to padobe.
