Re: [papercreters] Bored

Hey Jerry, I like color too and got the same results of a brownish adobe color by just adding a few cans of reddish colored clay to our blocks.  (Red clay is what passes for soil up here!) We sift it and add it to the mix.  the blocks are a bit heavier but have a much nicer tone than the standard gray. --- On Tue, 2/3/09, jerryfant@verizon.net <jerryfant@verizon.net> wrote: From: jerryfant@verizon.net <jerryfant@verizon.net> Subject: [papercreters] Bored To: papercreters@yahoogroups.com Date: Tuesday, February 3, 2009, 11:48 AM Today I got bored making several loads of papercrete. So I added some cement coloring to the mix. 5 onces of brown color to abut 40 gallons of papercrete mix. The result was an adobe looking block. I plan on using this (a little lighter color) to mix up the stuco when I apply it, I should have to only waterproof when completed, thus saving the step of painting the final product. Jerry
