I have never actually made blocks myself, but have seen them made several different ways,
with different recepies, some more scientific than others.
As far as I know, Barry Fuller has some test results from his blocks, but he charges for them.
He is on www.livinginpaper.com.
Here in Silver City, Eric Patterson has a very good recipe and process to make the blocks, but
are somewhat labor intensive since he is very meticlious about making a good product.
Somewhere I have some video of his process and when I find it I will post it.
Also Clyde Curry of Eve's Garden in Texas is a great resource, and of course Mikey Sklar in
TorC, New Mexico.
As for cardboard forms, they won't work. Even wooden forms tend to "slump" after repeated
use, especially if the wood is not at least 1 3/4" thick.
Depending on how many you need to make and how fast you need to make them, you might
want to consider making the forms from some recycled steel.
