Use warm water and glycerin. The warm water is to help the cement set up more quickly, and the glycerin helps the retention of the bubbles in the foam.

Artist, woodworker trained in Japanese carpentry and traditional construction. Dome Gaia workshop graduate, instructor in Portugal 2018, San Diego 2019,and consultant/training/designer for home projects in Mexico (si, hablo Español). A builder of 18 years and so bring that as well. I am fully loaded with all tools in the West Coast and willing to travel to other countries with my smaller portable tool set. I can consult, design, problem solve remotely or on site depending on your budget. I can train your crew and or your family in making your dome, saving large costs that's unnecessary with the brick making and stacking part of the build. I am capable of all tasks and shine at finishing and design. I also have access to professional artisan builders whom I have formed a guild with, and are interested in alternative sustainable projects- please ask if interested in a particular craft. Thank You for reading my profile...let's build something beautiful!

RE: How much foaming agent?posted in AirCrete
Not sure of the question.
It takes 16ml of dish soap mixed (7th GEN) with 5 gallons of water to get the consistency you need to reach the necessary 90-100grams of foam weight. Does this help?

RE: Aircrete pour in place pitched roof?posted in AirCrete
@naeveh1 I don't see why not. Being that it's lightweight it could work great. Make sure to use the poly fiber on the inside of the pour to hold it all together monolythically. Also, will give you an insulative ceiling...FYI: You may not be able to walk on it though. Also, how do you expect to mix and pour this? Look in to a plaster mixer if necessary....this may be a good alternative to hand mixing. Too bad you did'nt use this for your walls. You would have insulative walls by now and a finished surface to paint.
