has anyone tried adding a waterproofing agent such as Sylasec to papercrete?
somewhere i found out that if you add it to cement regular cement, it makes it waterproof?
otherwise that particular product seems designed to make a waterproof concrete paint
by mixing it with portland. i haven't had a chance to test it yet but wonder if anyone else has?
i am trying to get my head around the idea of where permeability is 'useful' and how to apply that-
as in traditional hogan roof ,which i understand, uses layers of different clays, using the varying
water absorption properties as an advantage...i am looking at a ferrocement shell with papercrete render
but whether it would be best on the inside or the outside is the question?

P/C does not do well in wet situations under constant weight. You can grab some good hardwood pallets and stack them.......... they will endure the weight. For cosmetics you can lathe the pallets edges and coat them with mortar.
take care.......... Bob
