[QUOTE="tytower, post: 452732, member: 2399"] Woooh --thats very fine particulate matter. What about the dust ? Anyone got asthma or a breathing complaint yet. Interestingly I have been experimenting with the stuff since I heard the Chinese have a problem with the Great Wall of China. The bricks are eroding with the weather - thats right the bricks. The mortar is as sound now as the day it was laid. They looked in the mortar and found a glutinous fine particulate substance. It was rice flour and it is so fine it binds between the grains of cement and makes it waterproof. So I tried some rice flour as an additive and it seems to work. It costs a lot that way in 1 lb boxes , so now I am trying diatomaceous earth and it seems to be waterproof too. I now read they use it as a waterproofing additive in Ferro Cement boats and flyash is also used [/QUOTE]
