[papercreters] pc triangles



I have completed the 20 triangles needed for my clerestory roof and am now waiting for them to cure. Since this is monsoon season we are getting thunderstorms often. Reasoning that it would be better for one triangle on top of a stack to get wet vs all of them lying on the ground getting wet, I stacked them during the beginnings of a rain two days ago.

Even though the triangles are larger than your typical block, and eight inches thick, I found that I could flip them 24 hours after pouring them. Once you break the ground contact then they dry faster, no longer wicking ground moisture back into the pc. The bit of flash along the edges cleans up easily.

I'm working on pictures and should have some available later today.

The smaller triangles in the background are made from leftovers at the end of a mix. They are sized for a 6'D doggie dome. The sand stuck to the triangles brushes off once they cure and dry.
