Re: [papercreters] Re: Compressing Slurry

I think it's more pertinent to ask people who are doing slipforming.  I wonder if there's a way to test a pad vibrator for blocks . . .

Has anyone done any papercreting/testing with one of those vibrator
probes that they use to get air voids out of concrete? When they pour a
large area like a dam, bridge footing, or roadways you often see them
insert a vibrating probe into it to get out the voids.

This could have an impact on the shrinkage/form of the block after
drying, the strength, water absorption, and the insulation value. Maybe
better, maybe worse, but I think it would be worth trying if anyone has
access to something like this.
