[papercreters] Re: Paper only ? Jay

That is exactly what I was referring to, not that I am recommending it.

I tend to think of portland cement as a stabilizer instead of a binder in papercrete. The paper fibers tend to attach themselves to each other, but the portland tends to lock those fibers into a stiffer matrix.
