[papercreters] Re: New guy

I operate a recycling collection and processing site. When making paper,especially from recovered paper, some of the the paper fibers will be too short to interlock in the the paper matrix and will settle out of the mix. This is probably what bargnguy is referring to. A possible caveat: the same quality that causes the short fiber paper waste to not become part of the finished paper  at the paper mill may also result in a weaker pc. The longer the fibers, the stronger the finished product. If used in a non-load bearing application it might be ok. I'm not an experienced papercreter (yet) but there's my opinion, for what it's worth.
