ITEM #8400  NUWAY BUILDING BOOK + RUB-R-SLATE LESSONS on CD  $19.

Inventor JACK BAYS was the creator of NUWAY building and the Rub-R-Slate formulas. Now,  his original 1970s book and many unique formulations from the 1930s are contained on one CD with  extensive, additional, low cost building information.

The complete Rub-R-Slate 12 Lesson plan from the CD is  provided in a folder with the encased CD, and other printed literature of interest.

Essentially, Jack discovered that using asphalt (hot mix), OR Asphalt Emulsion (AE) mixed with clay, shredded cardboard and/or sawdust, paper, and other dry materials like sand, cement, plus some other additives, gave a hard wearing but extremely foot comfortable substance good for floors and roofing. It can be poured, troweled, rolled, sprayed, tamped, stamped, and molded while still drying.

Alternative builder Ken Kern wrote about Rub-R-Slate in his book "The Owner Built Home" but details on making the product were scarce. And John Shuttleworth, founder of *The Mother Earth News*  knew Jack and worked with some of his formulas back in the 1970s. This collection of the original lessons are now available on the CD along with the 80 page book Jack wrote.

Jack even describes coating sheets of paper/cardboard with it to premake panels for laying as floor tiles or wall surface. It can also be used for a damp proof course.

Names Jack gave to his recipes are: "Liquid Marble, MarbleWood, Insuldown, Insulrock, Lithocrete, Hornite, and Terralithic". 
The Rub-R-Slate Lesson Plan is a series of 20+ pages of typwriter typed information with details on how to make a wide variety of finished products, and a MIXER to blend the recipes. 

The information in NOT fancy, just typed pages, but can be easily followed.

What you can do with Rub-R-Slate?
Resurface old concrete/cement floors and old wood floors, baseboards, and walls. Make roofing tiles and panels, countertops, and a base mastic and grout, plaster, and coating surfaces is possible with these formulas.

Asphalt emulsion, a petroleum by product of making gasoline (waste), can be purchased at home supply stores, ($7 to $10 - 1 gallon can, or builder's supplier has 5 gallon cans for ~$21+) and shredded cardboard (or paper as in Papercrete), sawdust, sand, cement can be mixed according to his directions to produce a comfortable floor surface, or cover broken damaged floors and walls cheaply.

[Asphalt Emulsion- AE: is simply asphalt, bentonite clay and water in a suspension. It hardens by evaporation of the water, no VOCs or chemicals are in modern AE formulas. It has a "road tar" smell when the can is opened, but it dissipates immediately in the mix.]

No guarantees are made on these formulas, in fact, I would like to hear back from anyone who makes Rub-R-Slate independently.
