Hello Just curious to know......... Has anyone done any experiments with papercrete and its resistance to seawater and the marine environment?. Ive heard you...
I appreciate your insight, Clyde, however, I'd very much like to have my mailbox filled with this info so I can keep it for future reference. Greg ... From:...
Are we having fun yet? Do you realize that Papercreters has been around, and we have been freely and openly sharing information about papercrete for over a ...
livinginpaper.com mentions adding boric acid and borax to papercrete to make it fireproof. But does anyone know if it is really fireproof. I have an idea to...
its very flame resistant. it will resist a blow torch for quite a while but it will eventualy disintigrate in high heat like any other building material. you...
But does anyone know if it is really fireproof. Nothing is really fireproof , only fire resistant. Boric acid is used in cellulose insulation to increase...
Hi everyone. first I also wana thank the moderators- keep doing what ever it is you do so well, so WE ALL can have a good time connecting to each other. ...
Papercrete does not burn with a flame, but (depending on your mix) will smolder and eventually be consumed. This takes a lot of time and there is a distinctive...
I do thank all the moderators and while I am not cognizant of what they all do or even the entire extent of this group (can't watch videos and haven't...
Block, no, haven't tried that. When I did my dome with sprayed and hand packed layers, I made the inner layers from just paper, with no portland cement. The...
Thank you for your insight on rebar. I have always felt that rebar was a waste of effort and money, after seeing how the papercrete shrinks away from it over...
I too thank all the moderators. I have not done the work with pc but have learned a great deal. It's an great group, 1,245 strong, quite amazing when you think...
Which of you run your papercrete mixer off your tractor's PTO? Would you share your design or engineering on that with us so I could show Hubby? Thanks. Connie...
Seems to me that you'd want to select the right material for the job. If you want to build a fire pit, you'd most likely want to use concrete blocks or brick,...
... Were you trying to pour an 8 foot high Yes by 4" deep wall right up against the block wall? Yes Was this to increase the R value Yesor What did you use for...
... with a concrete lined pit, should have the power to make papercrete in volume ! IF ANYONE WOULD LIKE TO TRY THIS- please stay in touch - If we could make...
That's pretty much how we used to solidify Haz Waste. Pour the sludge into the pit or lugger than blend in Flyash, sawdust or lime dependent on availability....
Greetings, Okay, tell me more. I have a 72" landpride reverse tiller that has some real power. However, I don't see how I could get it in a pit, it would ...
I have seen PTO’s used to run saw mills, etc. using a telescoping drive shaft off a tractor PTO. I imagine you could hook a shaft to one wheel on a tow...
thanx spaceman but wouldn't it be too heavy for one man\woman to handle- a 12" thick, 2'x4' (about 60x100 cm) of PC panel? sounds too heavy for me, on the...
hello all. has anyone measured the ratio between compression and insulation? in other words, the more i compress my PC block, the less air is left in it, hence...
The triangles are usually either 4" or 6" thick, but another layer is plastered on top of them so the structure ends up much thicker. When I cast them 10"...
... /agree. Papercrete is wonderful stuff, but there are things I would definitely not use it for. ... Or do a nice fire pit in papercrete and then thin shell...
... I don't have a forumla for you, but I would not make that assumption. Anecdotal evidence suggests the opposite is actually true, at least as far compressed...
Hi Udi, Tests of hydraulically compressed blocks indicate that R-value does not suffer from "ultra-compression". I have a small, brick-sized block of Barry...

I have posted about my home tests of various properties of papercrete in the past. I've tested hundreds of subtly different recipes. None of my tests are...
Pardon me for venturing off topic, but we've been a little slow the last couple of weeks anyway. My mind this week has been thinking a lot about our many...
Hello, Ditto from the northern plains. Please be safe. For those that would appreciate them, both I personally and my church corporately are "holding you...
