        It works, but you have to buy or find and process all that foam into tiny pieces.

        I looked into EPS personally just want to avoid the plastic.

          @HandyDan Agreed. I think EPS has some noxious emissions, especially compared to cement, air, water, and dish soap. If not in the finished product, the EPS mfg process includes bad emissions if I recall correctly.

            Love the idea of using other waste material into the mix to increase strength and insulative properties.

              @ignachos Totally agree with you. I loved the idea too. Then I did it a few times.. Great job for indoors with hired help LOL

              Try it! Make something. I'm not trying to discourage.
