RE: [papercreters] Insulation paper...

While building my little place 2 years ago I threw 1 beer bottle into the form. Guess what - that is the exact place I decided to cut in another door, right through the bottle. So if you are like me and make things up as you go along don't put anything in your walls that you would not want to cut through.

I have. It is easy to use. It smells from the borates, like ammonia or urine. I mixed in a normal concrete mixer and did not presoak. You could mix in a bucket with a good drill and a plaster mixing blade, or even stir it with your hands though you should use rubber gloves. The finished product is different from pc mixed in a tow mixer or with a spray washer, not as smooth. I may use some more of the cellulose insulation on a current project but will probably stick to the much cheaper "normal" pc.

Anybody used blow-in paper insulation (with borate already in the mix)?
