Vedr. [papercreters] Re: Alternative ways to mix papercrete

-- There WAS excess water. I let the mix settle and poured some off.

-- No idea how long 60 liters (about 15 gallons U.S.) would take. I probably mixed about 3 gallons worth in a 5 gallon pail. Took just about 5 minutes. Was amazed at how fast it went. WAS a lot of splatter, though.

Next time I will pour off the water (from soaking the paper) before I start pulping it with the sprayer. That might eliminate the excess water issue.

If so, do you just let it settle and then pour it out afterwards? Sounds like a method well worth trying, in an open place.
