Re: [papercreters] Rookie mixer?



Some have used plaster mixing blades chucked into a drill as a mixer. You will probably want to soak your paper well, even shred it if possible or at least tear it into strips.

Another simple mixer is made by taking a couple of strips of metal maybe 1"x6", crossing them in an "X" and drilling a hole at the intersection. Then these strips are bolted onto a piece of threaded rod or welded to a rod, which is chucked into a drill. There is a picture of something similar here on Amazon.

Both of these work and will give you a decent workout in the process.

The best place to read about papercrete is the archives of this group, the photo section, and the links. The links will take you to other papercrete resources.

Is there something like a 5 gallon mixer that would do if using newspaper?  Yes, I am an uber-rookie.  If you can point me to various places to read I would be appreciated rather than waste bandwidth on this list.   ------------------------------------
