Papercrete and seawater resistance question   Message List  
Reply | Forward Message #1135 of 1136 |
Hello

Just curious to know.........

Has anyone done any experiments with papercrete and its resistance
to seawater and the marine environment?. Ive heard you can make a
papercrete pond but what about a papercrete boat?. Im not sure i want
to be the one to find out that the idea will not work whilst im in
the middle of the ocean...lol

There are many sealants on the market to waterproof anything you
like....several coats of yaught varnish for example. i guess the
question would be what would happen if the sealant fails to keep out
the water or the walls are battered with constant high waves.

PS. The reason i ask is because im tempted to build a floating scuba
diving center which sits on a floating platform.

Looking forward to anyone who can expand on these thoughts.

Regards

A
