Hey Dave,
Keep in mind that almost everyone's first batch of papercrete doesn't
work out perfectly. Usually a first batch works better than a person
expects and inspires them to try again. Typically people tweak their
mix ratios and methods a little before they start making lots of it.
Your learning pains are to be expected. Papercrete is so much
different than concrete. People that are used to working with
concrete have to learn to shift their thinking a lot.
Make certain that when you pour your slurry into it's mold or form
that there is plenty of drainage underneath. A sandbed works great.
I've had good success using some screen frames for my many small
experiments. This allows me to capture the runoff water and recycle
it.
I hope you'll post some pictures soon.
Please keep posting about your process and progress.
