Resurfacing the Papercrete Garden Wall 3

More work on the garden wall.
These days I'm mixing the ingredients dry in the cement mixer -- six parts sand, three parts paper, three parts Portland cement -- then putting a bit of the dry mix into a 5-gallon bucket and hand mixing in water and joint compound. It's a very workable mix, and cures to form a nice, hard shell.

  1. Hi there - I'm exploring papercrete as a wall sculpture material - love seeing how you've transformed your wall! Was wondering if you have found any issues in adding wet papercrete to an already dry papercrete surface. Any issues with joints cracking apart ? Any tips on how to ensure added pieces don't fall off later?
