I've been offered large amounts of prickly pear from a nearby farm that
is doing some landscaping. I don't know much about using it with
papercrete, but I bet some folks on this list do.
Here is what I've found so far about prickly pear and papercrete.
- cement substitute in plaster - quicklime (slack it) add the prickly
pear cactus gel.
- sealing papercrete - applying prickly pear mucilage.
- cement substitute in papercrete - no recipe found.
Questions:
1. What part of the prickly pear is valuable? The paddles or the fruit, or
both?
2. How do I Break down prickly pear? Tow behind? In my usual stucco or
block mix?
3. How do I spray prickly pear mucilage? Airless paint sprayer or
tirolessa?
4. Recipes?
