[papercreters] Re: Recipe Ratios

Hey we get the flyash for free from my friends cement plant,the power plant they get it from will pay us to haul it away but you need a cement bulker and a silo to pump it into which we are working on.

The last mix we did was 100 lbs paper dry,40 lbs portland 80 lbs fly ash,20 lbs jackpine sand (high clay content)in a 200 gal mixer.We found the blocks alot more dense without extra weight,still about 12 lbs.when you press you have to let the mix drain off for at least 6 hrs then you can press quite fast and remove them from the press by hand.Grain augers dont work so we are now building a convayor to deliver the mix.Will be in town for a week and back out again for two weeks.Heet curing hmmm we have been collecting used cooking oil since last fall we have a grain bin half full of 5 gal pails,800 gals.Look at babington burners on youtube.have a good night
