Abstract
A mixture and method for forming molded products includes, in a preferred embodiment, Portland cement, shredded polystyrene, chopped fiberglass fibers, a waterproof coating agent, and water. These components may be mixed together, preferably in a large capacity mixer, to form a slurry, which may then be poured into a mold. The slurry is allowed to dry within the mold, and is then removed from the mold. The final product is a precast, molded item that is formed into a desired shape for use in the construction industry, and may be attached to a structure using screws, nails, adhesive, or any other suitable means of attachment.
