I've been covering my papercrete with a "pool mix". It is a lime wash
that include white portland. I find it costs me less than $1 a gallon
to make and is incredibly strong and beautiful. This is more than 20x
cheaper than the fancy acrylic and latex paints if you were to buy
them new. If you skip the brown umber oxide you can have a beautiful
white which I like for the interior.
- 2 gallons of water
- 10lbs of lime
- 10 lbs of white portland
- brown umber oxide (1lb) - color only
