Re: [papercreters] Using papercrete to insulate the chimney in a rocket mass heater

Greetings,
We have used it, but we went really heavy on the portland cement. Like
3 to 1, portland to paper by weight. No sand in the mix. The building
was hit by a near miss tornado, and was structurally damaged, so I can't
tell how long it lasted before degrading, as it was only use for part of
a season in Texas, which are short heating seasons to start.

Bright Blessings,
