Re: [papercreters] Re: Interested, but not necessarily in making my own PC

No I dont actualy. I use a standard cement mixer. A "proper" papercrete
mixer is one persons idea which has been adopted as the "standard", but
realy there is no standard. When paper or cardboard is mixed with water
and agitated it naturaly separates the fibers. If you add water and paper
in a drum with a screw top you can leave it in the back of you pickup or
in the trunk of your car while you drive around and it will make the paper
slurry. Just add the cement powder when you are ready to make papercrete.
