proof coating there is a product called insualcoat is a water bourn
product enviro frendly has a 160% strech rating ,and gives r24
insulating factor.Can be applyed to wood or most any substrate the link
to there page is www.envirocoat.com and you can get it through ici
paints or devoe coatings.I will be using this for my papercrete house
to start next spring,once all the snows gone lol.Iv been a jm painter
for 20 yrs and am now driving off road trucks hauling stone for a
landscaping supply company.Well i hope this gives you some insite to
