Interesting! Surprising how strong it is in shear - higher than an ICF wall...

I'd be interested to see how it works after 40 years of wear and tear.

I am always a fan of stuff that forgos glue in place of joints, but the fact that it consists of a network of small joints may still be cause for concern.

But right now, I say thumbs up!
