Hello Alan, This is clydetcurry@yahoo.com - Fillers generally are effective at controlling shrinkage. Tests between, Barry Fuller (Living In Paper, Zach Rabon and Myself while at Evesgarden, seemed to reveal, somewhat conclusively that a paper pulp briquet looses no insulating value at up to a 50 % high mass filling, ie. Mortar. My base mix of 1 of cements 3 of aggregates (sand, perlite, scoria, pumice or rice hulls) (Mortar) as 50% volumetricly , approx. 80 lbs of newsprint will yeild the other 50% - I promise you this mix will experience very little shrinkage ! Good Luck - Clyde

| Looking at Dan's form I am wondering just how far I would need to compress wet papercrete to assure no further shrinkage. If I had a form built from 2X12s which are about 11 1/2 inches would compresssing the papercrete to ten inches do it?
