Papercrete Mix Ratios & Curing time?

Anderson, SC(Zone 7b)

Hi,
I just did my first experiment the other day with Papercrete and I have a couple of questions on the papercrete.

1. Have any of you determined the proper ratio mix of paper slurry to PC for larger papercrete projects? I'd like to make some large containers with it, so any advice & tips would be appreciated.

2. What's the drying time before taking it out of the mold? I took mine out after about 28 hours & part of it broke off.

3. What's the curing time for papercrete before planting in it?

4. Do you seal these inside or out before you use them? If so, with what? Will polyurethane work?

Thanks!!

Hi
I noticed no one has answered you. Have a look at the Papercrete from Tomtom as she is the guru of this. I read her instructions once and don't remember if she would have answered your questions. If you read it and it didn't then D mail her .
Have fun with your project
