Pleas don't take offense, but if you look at how the group did the pulping at Judith's, looks like they first started soaking cardboard, and then later just started craming dry cardboard into the tow mixer, did anybody stop and weigh that cardboard? I personally never weigh anything, I find using the gallon standard is close enough for me, I don't care what the paper weighed before I pulped it, or what the weight of a gallon of cement is, and in my case I don't care what a gallon of clay or a gallon of sand weigh, the only thing I care about is the number of gallons of each, I really understand the "drained Paper Pulp" statement, it simply means, in Ron & Doris case to dump the wet load on the ground, it will self drain, pick it up 15 gallons and put it in an electric or gas mixer and add the 2 gallons of cement, add additional water and mix until it looks like oatmeal.

any way to break that down to dry-weight on the paper, or do you pulp a large amount of paper at a time then just mix small batches in yer mixer?

3 five gallon buckets of drained paper pulp
2 gallon of portland cement
Add enough water for it to mix Around three gallons give or take a little.
This is mixed in a cement mixer.
