      @zander the no sign of anything good is in the ingredients no lauryl or laureth or anything of that nature. I would imagine that the companies want the foam to go away so it washes down the sink. If the foam wouldn't break down it would be a pain in the ass trying to finish the washing up.

      @zander yeah it makes foam for like 5 minutes that collapse. I have been putting all the different types of handwashes and shower gels and dish detergents in water bottles with a little water shaking them up and watching them and timing them. The hand-wash is the best so far the rest is sh*t. I did find putting a little bit of soap from my shaving stick in with the hand wash was awesome but I can't get shaving stick soap here the Cambodians don't do that luxury as they don't have much of a beard growth anyway.

      @zander also anything by post the cambodian customs decide is valuable you get stung around 200 percent of what they think it's worth or your not getting it. Simple as that.

      @brian-spooner can't get seventh gen here or axion. I've had the locals I know asking relation in the capital and all over Cambodia. This hand wash is the best I've found the other dish wash only has around 7% of the lauryl or laureth in it was rubbish. The other brands don't even have it here.

    • Foaming agent woes

      I am hunting high and low here in Cambodia for a good foaming agent I have watched nearly every video looking for brands that I might have seen or can find and came up with zero. I found a company that sells a 25litre of what they call concrete foaming agent here but its 300 usd a barrel. Its rebranded as there own range. I have however found this hand wash that looks good but the bubbles get bigger fairly quickly and then collapses. Can anyone see from the ingredients what's causing this or maybe I can add something to help. I am running out of ideas.
      Water, sodium laureth sulphate, sodium chloride, propylene glycol, dmdm hydantoin, fragrance citric acid. CL 14720

      Yes sounds like a good plan. Also I may use the 3 foot blocks for the arch forms and half them for the dome build.

      OK thats sounds good I kept going from 4 inch to 6 inch and back again in my thinking. 4 inch block is good by the sounds of it. It's very hot here all year round so insulation from cold is not an issue. It will save me a lot of cement doing it in 4 inch of course. I will go with a 3 feet x 6 foot x 4 inch form then I think that's about right. Also I am concerned about the form leaking around the joint at the bottom to the plastic any tips on this?
