Re: [papercreters] Fallout shelter

A ceramicrete or grancrete render coat?both are magnesium concretes i
think,developed for sequestration of radioactive waste (sigh) render
coat ,maybe on th inside so th water that the papercrete absorbed
could still evaporate as magnesium concrete is impermeable being
chemically bonded 'ceramic' as i understand. ventilation would be
critical-a problen i am struggling with re fire shelters as well. i
have some trouble understanding how to deal with th papercretes
hydrophylia tho in my experiments so far no problems have arisen and i
do love the way the concrete surface feels when there is paper pulp in
th mix!
