Re: [papercreters] Making papercrete really waterproof



Hi,

i don't know why the warning was there but it did say 'warning' as if it had something...that required a warning? The only thing i could think of was maybe the chloride might interact badly with a metal armature but that's a guess? sodium chloride in seawater is bane of ferrocement boatbuilding from what i have read- i am not a chemist so not sure about that one ( i did notice that in the US, potting soil has no warning where in Australia the warning on the bag makes me afraid to open the stuff! Maybe different rulebooks in different countries?)

cheers, eo

Hi Eo,
thanks for your information.

Most of the stuff is not available here in Europe but maybe I can have it shipped over

What does that mean:

"it does have a warning that it 'contains calcium chloride"

I use CaCl2 for timbercrete. Not sure if it would shorten the curing time for papercrete.

But I was not aware that we should be warned about it.

Cheers
S.
