Re: [papercreters] Leave up foam forms

Hello Murrey, this is Clyde Curry. Both high strength and low shrinkage can be obtained by filling the mix with aggregate as you would with conventional mortar. Here is a mix I will personally quarentee as I have made over 30000 of these blocks. Begin by supplying 2.5 lbs of cement per lb. of dry paper fiber. 37.6 of fiber and 94 lbs of cement , volume of cement would be 1 cubic foot add 2.5 times that volume of aggregate- I suggest perlite or reground styrofoam - this will make the mix drain and lower shrinkage - I suggest that 12 % of the weight of cement be replaced with Pozzolan ( as in metakaolin ) this will help lower moisture retention-
