The glossy magazines do not work as well but it's OK to add a few to a mix made with newspaper or cardboard. You have to tear them apart. The spine does not mulch so either don't put it in or fish it out of the slurry. I don't have an answer on the blades but from my experience it's not the sharpness of the blade that matters. It just sort of tears the paper up. You want to keep the cellulose fibers as long as possible. But in my opinion there is a lot of room for deviation and experimentation with papercrete.

I am still in the planning stages and I hope to get my tow mixer built next Summer but I am collecting cardboard and paper now. I am just wondering if the glossy catalogs and magazines will work as good as newspaper and cardboard. How about cutting a 24" S-shaped blade out of a 24" buzz saw blade? Is there a template available anywhere? Alan in Michigan |
