Ernie, do you have a link to "bora-core"? It does not "google". Similar products have a "patented glycol formula" that allows penetration into wood. Straight boric acid would probably not do this effectively.
I'm all for testing. Let's use the analogy of a coffee grounds (boric acid) and the coffee filter (pc). How much of the ground coffee beans gets into the coffee and how much weight is stopped by the filter? So you could mix up some boric acid with water to your standard specifications, get few pieces of newspaper separated by spacers, and see how much of the crystals get stopped by the paper.

=) Disagreement is good, it encourages testing. I don't have the same
kind of propane torch as he does, but perhaps I can rig something up
similar. I don't think bora-core would have any more trouble
penetrating into papercrete than it would into dry hardwoods, which it
is marketed for.
