[papercreters] Re: ] Recipe for Newbie

At that temp everything fails. Timber burns, steel softens and collapses, everything but masonry can't survive.

No building material or technique is perfect. Papercrete survives fire for a long time if there's adequate sand content, it actually performs quite well in a fire. But its not perfect, it can smoulder and keep on smouldering for hours afterwards, correct treatment is needed after a fire.

Its also quite good workwise if you use a trashpump to get the mix into the wall, using shuttering to pour the walls in situ.
