[papercreters] Re: Best way to pour a 6" x 12" x 52" block?

>>Is your application going to expose the pc directly to flame?<<

No flame at all. My large blocks will form an insulating shell for a thermophilic (hot compost) heater with a max temperature of about 150F. It will have an inner chamber made of ferrocrete that will contain a rainforest-like environment.

I live in an area which has twice as many heating days as cooling days and my goal is to make an inexpensive supplemental heating unit using 90% or more recycled materials which then will consume its own weight in waste biomass every two weeks.

That's how I "discovered" papercrete. Rather than buying lots of styrofoam I was researching how to make insulation out of newspaper and came across Livinginpaper, Eve's Garden, and the other sites. Been a fan ever since.

Thanks

Dan
