    Anybody ever done anything with this stuff. From what i gather its like half portland cement and have soap bobbles/foam. I just watched a guy make essentially a foam cannon for like $25 and then made some bricks out of it and they floated. I was thinkin about making some forms for veneerish stone to cover the concrete block foundation on my house. The internet says they take screws so i thought it would be easy to attach it securely once they cured, and if i could get double or so the material i would out of normal cement at 2" thick i could make it for just over $1 per square foot, which for those who haven't priced faux rock siding, that's about 1/10 the price u can buy it

    Upon further investigation, the density of portland cement is 3.15 and water is 1 so for it to have a density low enough to float is must be at least ~3 parts foam 1 part cement
