You could use just about anything to compress it. The finer you pulp the slurry, the more water that must drain before you start to press it. I use a plain ole steel plate tamper, 19.95@ Harbor Freight. I let the slurry drain for oh 5 to 25 minutes then press it with the tamper. Depending on the slurry mix it may compress 1 to 3 inches. My experience is is does not spring back, but then I am not putting 12 tons of pressure on it either. If you have a Cenva Ram, then try it.

I'm curious about this. Once you compress it, does it spring back, or can you compress it one time shortly after pouring and have the PC stay compressed?
If so, will compressing it squeeze enough water out of the mix to allow you to move a block right away? That would allow you to use something similar to a Cinva Ram to squeeze it down.
