[papercreters] Ceramicrete and granicrete (was: Re: Ceramicrete MgO )

Charmaine,

Here is the paper from Argonne Labs announcing cermicrete. They give direction on how to make it. They do note that it needs practice to make:

Here is the Granicrete company:

and here is an article on how to use it:

I gather their marketing model is selling to professional installers, but somehow people are buying it. They did not say how they got though the marketing curtain.
