Yes, well.....the only reason I posted the info about this paint additive was I was thinking that a couple of weeks ago someone posted something about paint additive and thought this material would be perhaps interesting to look at. Now I thinking I should have gone back and reread the post perhaps it does not have any relative bases to the papercrete discussion. My apologies.

It would seem that the newbies on this site have all kinds of far fetched ideas concerning the making and building with papercrete. The beauty of papercrete is that is cheap and the product is very durable and usable and the average person can work with it quite easily. As far as exotic coatings and finishes go, they all tend to be quite expensive and are experimental at best anyway. Same goes with the ingredients. Paper and cardboard work well and as a rule are readily available for free. You will need a LOT of slurry whether you make blocks or slip form it. You will need a big mixer to do a big project. SImple as that. There are no quick fixes and you will have to expend some phsical energy to work with this medium. The downside of it is the building codes in this country will never allow it to flourish as a building medium so you become a guerrilla of sorts if you try to build with it. If you opt to work within the system you may as well build in a conventional manner as will be just as cheap and will be a lot less work. Plus it will be legal. Just because no one seems to be lurking around doesn't mean someone from the building department won't show up with a red tag to shut your project down. This is, after all, how they justify their existence and their jobs.--- On Sat, 11/6/10, Ev <evelynanne8@gmail.com> wrote:

I know some people who have buses that they have converted into motorhomes and they swear by it. However, that is when it is under about 5 years old and there are other people who say that after it has been awhile it is no better then having a white painted roof. Some people just add perlite to the white paint.
