Thanks...now you have honed in on the crux of my question. A gallon of dry, shredded paper, by weight or volume, is different from a gallon of soaked paper, i.e., paper mash, and certainly weighs less than the same gallon container of cement This is where I'm getting confused...thankful I'm not building a house! Can you possibly clear this up for me?

Greetings,
The whole point of giving the recipe as a ratio is that you can use what
you have to measure as long as you are consistent. So, if you have a
scale that can handle it, use weight. Or bucket measures, or shovel
measures or a measuring cup if doing small test batches. So, if you are
using a gallon measure, use a gallon measure just be consistent.
Bright Blessings,
