Re: [papercreters] Can papercrete be used in latex concrete molds?

You would need to use a mix which is high in sand, cement or clay/lime. Also the mixture would need to be placed and packed rather than poured.

the only problem i see is drainage of water for the papercrete to cure plus you might have some shrinkage

I've enjoyed reading the thread concerning papercrete and
modeling/sculpting. That is my area of interest.

I also have a number of concrete molds for lawn sculpture. Can
papercrete be used in those molds to make lighter weight statuary? The
molds are mostly latex with fiberglass backing.

Any thoughts or experience with this?

Thanks, Lynda
