Re: [papercreters] Want to make papercrete chair need help

Papercrete does not work like concrete. It does not "set up" in a couple of hours. You do have to let most of the water drain away, and then it takes days to weeks to finally dry out and get hard. You can often move it within a couple of days if you are careful, but it is fragile in the wet, uncured state.

Concrete has a chemical reaction with the water, and absorbs the water.

Hello,  It is sitting in a bucket and it still has not solitified.  Is that because the paper holds water too well and it can't drain our of the bucket?  I noticed a lot of the forms people are using are open on the bottom, is that to let the water drain out?  If anyone has experience with this, I would love to know.  I am hopeing to pour today, can someone email me, or call   thanks Matthew mmazzotta99@hotmail.com 315 521 1399
