this appears just as i was thinking about papercrete!
i make ferrocement sculptures and often have used some paper in the top coat, the sculpted layer, because it is easier to work with and 'softer' than concrete but i have some concern about the longevity of the papercrete. So far the early ones are holding up- i have waterproofed them and the percentage of paper pulp is not high...Has anyone tested paperadobe for bushfire resistance? bush fires are increasingly a problem-i have read that if the mineral content in the mix is high enough, then papercrete won't burn but of course Portland cement will burn out where clay will not. Could i substitute clay for the PC?
cheers, eo
