Wow! This stuff you're talking about -- is it an homogenous mix, or a
lime-plaster coat on a papercob structure?
+++++++++
yes it is a single dense mix.. you need to play with the clay and lime
to test what will work in your area...dipping burlap into clay or cement
slip will work as a cover on papercrete. Not sure what waterproofer to
use on cement, but a simple lime plaster will work on most materials it
is applied too...after all castles and colleseums have been built with
it for centuries, and it's been raining all that time too. (g)
