I certainly am not experienced in papercrete (yet) either, but I am
guessing that the shorter paper fibers are the smoother the mix would
be, which I feel would be good for stucco mixes. Just my two cents
worth.

" 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."
