I made a waterproofing coating using used cooking oil which I burn in my diesel truck, Portland cement and fine sand. Not much cement or sand, I don't remember the exact proportions, but it soaks into the papercrete and dries hard and definitely waterproof as I can spray it with water and it doesn't soak in at all. It is definitely cheap, which appeals to me as I have to watch my pennies to make ends meet. I also made a "stucco" mix using only the oil and sifted fine clay which I have an abundance of here. I put it on with a roller and/or a stiff bristle brush. It dries very hard and is waterproof. I didn't put that on papercrete but on OSB sheeting. It sticks very good to that so I am reasonably sure it would do the same to papercrete. I will be using that this summer on my papercrete blocks I'm putting on the exterior of my new house.

How much does it

it applied,
what are the testing methods that assessed the

Subject: [papercreters] Making
papercrete
really waterproof
Hi all,
has anybody tried UGL DriLok to waterproof
papercrete? Is it
working?
I found this:
Long available for industrial applications,
crystalline
waterproofing is now used in residential
applications. It
consists of a dry powder compound of Portland
cement, very
fine treated silica sand, and proprietary
chemicals.
Combining the product with water and applying it
to the
surface of concrete results in a catalytic
reaction that
forms several inches of non-soluble crystalline
fibers
within the pores and capillary tracts of
concrete. This
seals the concrete against the penetration of
water or
liquids from all directions. UGL DryLok is
one of these
products. Supposedly this will work in either
cured
papercrete or in the wet mix itself. It's
pricey, but said
to be so effective that it's possible to make
ponds with
papercrete. If it will hold water without
leaking, it should
prevent water penetration.
