I appreciate the theory and testing! A competitor's video shows using "drexel" foam vs "shampoo" vs "hand soap". The hand soap collapsed fairly quickly, while the much less expensive shampoo foamed very nicely and lasted nealry as long as the more expensive drexel! Thank you for you good wook and sharing!

[@cm-tv6nr]

Great video Harry!!!!!

[@jasminerichard6541]

Great job Harry 👌🏾

[@Stormrunner0002]

Here is something you may want to experiment with Harry. There is a product call deck patch which is used to fill cracks in a deck before a vinyl cover is applied. It looks like portland before and after mixed but after dried it is like a polymer wood filler which is likley what it is. Dont think it would be fire resistant but could be resiliant for paving stones.

[@mohammedohaj8441]

It is very nice video series describing how to make aircerete.

[@davidhay9010]

Very good and thanks for the fast forward!

[@karenrice5144]

Hey Harry, I see lots of creative possibilities with aircrete, for instance, a tiny home with an exterior of broken pieces of ceramic plates artfully arranged over the aircrete. Or aircrete bird houses, painted or mosaiced. Thanks for the vids. Great inspiration...John Rabeler

[@trevorstolz8580]

I think it would be really easy to build a geodesic dome home. (ziptiedomes.com) www.domegaia.com/ Use a PVC geodesic dome for the supporting structure but cover it with some covering the concrete won't adhere to. Spray Aircrete all over the dome and let it cure. Then dissassemble the PVC geodesic dome from the inside, reassemble and use it for a chicken coop or green house later.

[@firstlast-qo8pv]

Good work. Have you checked the density of the 'crete?

[@jodygregory534]

I like your videos and I think u are so good looking keep up the good looks and informative videos.

[@leoncryp8182]

have you ever tried to cover the freshly made aircrete, eg in food wrape or spay with more foam on top, or something, just try to get the best/lightest aircrete for insulation purposes only with no collapse, but i suspect its most probably got to be the foaming agent you need to use, nice thick micro stable foam.

[@franciscoarias5219]

How did you make the foam with your compressor?

[@tomkelly8827]

Thanks for your videos Harry, you really make me want to go out and build with it. I have a question and a few thoughts to add though Do you know if pressure washers with the foaming setting will work well to create a quality foam for this? Also I have built some homes from straw bales and they have natural plaster walls. They use cattail (swamp hot dogs) as the fibre for their plasters. I think it would be a great fibre to add to aircrete ( when you rub the cattails they spread out into millions of tiny fibres) Also I think aircrete would make a great base for underneath a concrete floor. It would be far cheaper then styrofoam. Just pour 2-4" of aircrew first and then top it up with 2" of regular concrete for added strength. Aircrete walls could be poured and then plastered over later for a finer finish, refractory aircrete mixes for building a fireplace The domes look great but I'm not such a fan of all the work that goes into all the curves personally. I want to get this going more into traditional construction. Mixing foamy bubbles is a lot easier on the back then shovelling all that gravel and sand! You are onto something here Harry!

[@kevinwest1368]

did you weigh the foam from the Dawn to see if you needed to adjust the air flow for he dawn

[@someoneoriginal7072]

NICE!

[@FlwrMs]

Very surprised you did not assess the difference(s) between the Dawn 'brick' & the Drexel 'brick' after they had dried....was anticipating that! ?

[@bossdog1480]

Very interesting videos. This is something new to me. I had heard of it but never really gave it any thought. Harry. Are you of Samoan ancestry? You look a lot like a Samoan friend of mine.

[@martinaugusto4162]

Awesome Harry. I'm plying with kaolin (I need an insulating material for a kiln). Do you know if this technique can be used with clays?

[@johntibbetts8928]

Have u ever made loges for log cabin with it

[@Pierrericheart]

I am reviewing your aircrete videos because im getting ready to try making some shipping container exterior insulation paneling. I'm thinking of putting some hog wire panels inside the aircrete for strength on the sides. do you think its nessasary or what is your exerience setting steel mesh in aircrete. i wonder if i could substitute the hogwire for a less expensive or recycled material like plastic mesh fencing type of material. any ideas? Thank you for your diligent research and documentation of aircrete Harry.

[@Redneckman1]

Have you ever used ash or sawdust in any mix for like a light weight filler to use less cement per batch

[@lancerudy9934]

Can you use this mix for a rocket stove?

[@sharondowdy1653]

but what is thecost per. cubic yard cost ? 5gal. ? gal,?could you mix in styrofoam ''fuzz'' to strech the mixture?

[@michaelgoodwin845]

Hi Harry, try adding 3 spoons of glycerin to the dawn

[@murrayconklinii8702]

I wonder if you added glycerin to your dawn if you would limit the collapsing?

[@jesstheone231]

Is the density of the Dawn foam the same as drexal?

[@HeavyDemir]

Try making the foam using car Shampoo to see if that is as stable as drexel cos it is a lot cheaper I suspect

[@givaldorochavieira67]

Good night, how do I get the whole process and formulas to make the blocks and the price?

[@CuriousEarthMan]

great videos! That's a 5 quart bucket, so two buckets level-full equals 2.5 gallons? So when you add more foam to the second bucket, you are going over 2.5 gallons. thanks! (this might apply to previous video = part 2)

[@lancerudy9934]

Does this mix have a high fire rating?

[@andrusha77]

what about Dr. Bronners soap?

[@luist8868]

What is the ratio of water to soap?

[@uugiienerel3373]

Please tell us the exact amount of material per 1 cube of dough

[@lancerudy9934]

This aircret what can you build with thi.

[@jamest.5001]

Looks like Dawn will leave larger voids, because of bubbles piping, and not rising,

[@isenbergj]

Hi Harry, Great video's. I have been watching Darwin on Honey do Carpenter and he has built many Aircrete projects and has determined after much testing that Suave Shampoo makes the best foam and holds up longer than all the others. Do a video using it . I think you'll be suprised. He builds rocket stoves and also incorporated water glass to coat the cement and it is totally heat proof. The aircrete alone is heat resistant but when he lined the flu with water glass it would withstand 3000 - 4000 degrees. Thanks.

[@AircreteHarry]

Thanks Jimmy, I know Honey do Carpenter. If you look through my videos you will see I did Test comparing different soaps and suave against Drexel. Drexel is the best! On my video if you click on my name then click on videos all my videos will come up in order and you can see all the different test I made. Thanks!

[@phynyxstryker]

How do you make the Drexel mix? What is the recipe of Drexel foaming agent to water? or Dawn to water. Or do you just use it straight up full concentrate?

[@AircreteHarry]

4 oz of Drexel to 5 gallons of water. www.ruralking.com/drexel-f-m-160-foam-marker-concentrate

[@jershaus]

You can always add fiberglass strands and a bonding agent. This will add alot of strength

[@MegaBobtube]

he didn't know that

[@gabrielprodanovic]

How much does it costs?

[@andrewmarkert1146]

Use Basalt fibers, Basalt Rebar and Basalt mesh.

[@andrewmarkert1146]

@@gabrielprodanovic Use Basalt fiber, $9 lb at Walmart.

[@howardrhyno5575]

Can someone help me out. I’m walking to spray air Crete and pump air Crete

[@paulstone7655]

This is a very risky endeavor...you have to be very quick getting out the house before the wife catches you with the kitchen gear 🤣

[@benjaypato]

HI!! What is the ratio you use WATER/DAWN is it 40/1? thanks!

[@benjaypato]

I live in mexico, so I will try with AXXION dish washer, I just don´t know the amount of it with water. Thanks!!

[@mcsquare3473]

can you comment on the shrinkage volume or how much the aircrete shrinks during the drying period

[@dimedriver]

Concrete doesn't really dry. The water stays in it and is what holds it together. If you cook it in an oven at over 212f it will turn back into the powder.

[@MotoGiant]

waiting on the videos where you BUILD something. Everything you are doing now appears to be theory, and testing? When will you build a structure? What happened to the dome?

[@harrietsimmons3816]

we want food... we want food... we want food !!!!

[@ramlingam2184]

Let share any detailed information in documents to read about aircrete

[@dannyzurlo7943]

What's the mix ratio of water to Dawn liquid?

[@tomkelly8827]

I don't think there is water with the dawn

[@mellowfelon]

is it possible to over mix or under mix ?

[@AircreteHarry]

Welcome to the channel 👍 Yes, it is possible. 📣 Be sure to mix all the cement that settles at the bottom.

[@lorencaswell3191]

Can you use shaving cream to make aircrete

[@AircreteHarry]

yes you can but that is not a practical way to do it, that would be a much more expensive way.

[@jasonscottlinville]

add glycerin to dawn to keep it from collapsing

[@SimonHomeintheEarth]

Part 4 to see the difference after things cure?

[@SimonHomeintheEarth]

Found it... kzbin.info/www/bejne/iKPRqXmjoJqlg8U

[@laurabenevelli6783]

That doesn't look like the same consistency as the drexel.

Your videos are fantastic Harry. Thanks for letting everybody know that Drexel FM 160 Aircrete Foam is available at stonebrothers.com/product-category/aircrete/

[@ariofsouthdakota]

Should name this the difference between Dawn Dish Soap and Drexel... 😴😴

[@jimgardon8025]

Harry, you’re measuring your foam wrong! Nobody caught, even you! You say two gallons of foam in the videos, but your bucket clearly says 5 QUARTS!!! Unless we’re talking Imperial measurements (Canada) here you’re putting a half-gallon more foam in the mix every time! That’s a lot if the ratio is important, which I think not, however if structurally important, it would be critical. This isn’t the case with the product. OTHERWISE well produced. Dyslexic people pick up on nuances and details like this. We couldn’t make a video like yours, but we can tear up one looking for errors! I make a hell of a proofreader as well! Going to use aircrete as a binding agent with chopped straw in a 18-20” in-filled wall post and beam cabin I’m building.

[@cruisesailing]

Yes, I caught that too. Says 5 quarts right on the container.

[@coolkidbmx6851]

You coulda done this in half a video..man you are slow. An good luck with that cement lung. Guess there's a place for everyone in this world...
