Hi Pack-- you need the regular Henry 107 brand it is only water- bentonite clay and and tar ( asphalt) The Henry 107 or Blackjack brand fibered emulsion is the same-- no vinyl etc. the MSDS on the low tech AE is non toxic and non off gassing. [ it does have a smell upon opening the can, but it dissapates...everything "offgasses"...even BUTTER has molecules you can smell : > ] basically asphalt emulsion is droplets of tar and clay which will stick to any dry surface once the water evaporates in the mix. I DO like it for many areas where water proofing and resistance is needed. adobe stabilized today by manufacture s contain 5% AE, and many concrete slabs are coated with it to prevent mositure to come up thru the slab, it has been recommend by stawbuilders for floor slabs. there will be those who say not to use it...but pick your battles-- if you have used cement for anything you are gone non-natural. The 1920's Rubberslate formulas have AE as a prime component with shredded cardboard and clay ( sounds like papercrete eh?) to make durable cushinony floors and water proof plasters. A friend saw my experiments and used it in earthen plasters around windows and doors on the weather side of her bale house. sticky and messy if more than 20% is used...but it does the job.
