[papercreters] Best way to pour a 6" x 12" x 52" block? [2 Attachments]

<*>[Attachment(s) from Daniel Ford included below]

Dear Papercrete Group:

I'm working on a project that requires a consistent 6" h x 12" w x 52" l block. I've assembled the molds and have filled the first one to the top and will backfill the shrinkage in a day or two. (see attached photos)

My question is whether or not this is the best way to pour a 6" block or should I fill it half way on the first pour? I need to make 50 of these and the sooner the blocks dry the sooner I can complete the project.

For background, my mix is 1# paper, 1# portland, 1# sand, .05 # Borax. I live near Cincinnati OH and our summers are hot and humid.

Thanks

Dan
