Valid concerns. And I do not have answers. Have wondered about its load-bearing ability as an adhesive. Do know the Chumash were have said to have used it to waterproof and help bond the canoes they rowed between the mainland and the Channel Islands. We do have really powerful spring

Using asphalt as a glue is a fascinating idea. The first caveat that comes to mind is the potential britlleness of cured asphalt under cold extremes. Yes I see you had a test piece that stayed together, but did you have it under load or apply dynamic stress to it when it was exposed to your

Cheapest I have found epoxy this afternoon is for about $100 per gallon of resin and gallon of hardner. I may be looking in the wrong places. If someone knows of it for substantially less, please share. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "hexayurt"

If my math is right, on an H18 design, I would have 118.6 square feet of foam-to-foam edges to attach (with my 4" thick polyiso). That would take 5 gallons of epoxy, it looks like. And that is way out of my budget. So think I am going to run another test with asphalt emulsion. Last time I

Also, for your application, i highly recommend you look into building codes and use a non-flammable adhesive. I'm sure you don't want another grenfell tower disaster (they used same polyiso boards as hexayurts). at the least seal the seams and you probably want to add a layer of sheet rock on
