Re: [papercreters] Fibrous Cement - some photos

Mikey:
What was your mix??????? It appears to have a nice working texture,
but looking at it, it appears not to be highly "adhesive". I'd be very
interested to know what your mix consisted of. Also not having worked
with PC (yet), it appears that the bread dough consistency would
indicate that there had quite a bit of water drained off prior to
application. Presumably a tow mixer cannot achieve this directly and
there must an intermediate draining stage.........
