Re: [papercreters] Re: Pure cardboard slurry

The strawbale people sometimes float the bales in a clay slurry to
fireproof them . Might be worth a try to see if it would work with
cardboard, Might need to rough them up a bit and dip them quickly and
possibly more than once letting them dry in between coats to keep from
getting them too wet.
