Alpine_Tom Posted December 8, 2006 Share Posted December 8, 2006 Boy, that Betonamit sounds like cool stuff! I hope it's regulated; I could see people having some real inappropriate fun with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catbirdseat Posted December 8, 2006 Author Share Posted December 8, 2006 Not everyone has a 1" rock drill that can go completely through 10 ton boulder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alpine_Tom Posted December 8, 2006 Share Posted December 8, 2006 I imagine it'd do the same thing to concrete or brick, right? Imagine what it could do to, say, one of those big supports under I-5 along Eastlake. Or, someone's concrete foundation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
counterfeitfake Posted December 8, 2006 Share Posted December 8, 2006 You'd have to drill the holes first. And I bet it's really expensive. Using it would definitely be harder than the alternatives. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chucK Posted December 8, 2006 Share Posted December 8, 2006 $65/5 kg bucket. No licenses or permits required! Depending on how much it expands, you might be able to do some pretty serious damage by filling up a few adjacent expansion joints with the stuff.

catbirdseat Posted December 8, 2006 Author Share Posted December 8, 2006 Make new trad routes with the stuff. Make a saw cut and fill with the expando stuff. Add water. Crack widens. Repeat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was destroyed shortly after it was unearthed. It is analogous to infanticide. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
