[Cob] rice flourAmanda Peck ap615 at hotmail.comWed Sep 28 23:53:28 CDT 2005
Interesting. I've heard about rice hulls (light-weight, flammable only with difficulty, but if you can get it burnt it makes a fine pozzolan for lime) and rice straw (hard on the hands and feet, but strong) having building uses. First time I've heard about plain rice. ....................

I did a searcha and found a site which says that a lightly boiled rice paste is one of the strongest glues for paper goods. __________________________________ Yahoo!
