I plan on using "Thompson's Water Seal" as my final coating.
I used some on the walls ;before I got to the dome portion, and it worked wonderfully.
I feel that as long as you have good air circulation in the interior of your structure,there shouldn't be a need for breathable walls or ceiling.
I have about 8 feet to go before my dome is closed.
I will have a chimney and damper painted black to create a draw. I have two vents near the floor with doors that will allow as much air in as desired.

I need some input on papercrete roof's.
I'd like to know what folks have been doing as far as water
proofing. My papercrete roof has, pretty much, always leaked
to one degree or another over the years
After reading "Latex Concrete Habitat"
My question is....What do y'all think? Do you think the papercrete won't breath anymore
and I'm looking at future problems? The LC roof has been on for three months and I
don't see any mold.
Have you (if you've built a PC roof) been happy with it? What problems did you have?
if any
