If Clyde's pool has gone 6 years with no leakage, I may try that for
a hot tub (which would be in the sunroom and not part of the
house).  As for the tubs in the house I think I would feel better
with fiberglass on top of the papercrete.  I would sleep better
knowing that I don't have a leak to my papercrete foundation!  If
the hot tub leaked, it wouldn't have any effect to the foundation.

I wonder what the waterproof sealant for swimming pools is made out
of and how it would hold up to conditions of a roof as well as the
cost compared to other methods.  Does anyone have any insight on
this?
