RE: [papercreters] pulping magazines

The only problem I had with magazines was that the spines didn't pulp up. They are made with some really strong glue or plastic. If you pulp the magazines so they are very mushy you can just pick the spines out. I guess if you were going to use a lot of them you could run all the magazines through a table saw to take the spines off before pulping.

Interesting about magazines being OK according to the adobe code. Is that is writing somewhere?

The more soaking the better, that drill will beat you up is it isn't soaked enough. Shredding first will make it easier, but still soak after shredding to make it easier. Good luck with your first batch. In NM pc with magazines and their clay coating qualifies as code approved adobe as long as your cracks fall within acceptable limits.

I got a pick up load of magazines from our school library and am not sure if i shred them first before putting them in water?  I was thinking of letting them soak then using my attachment on the drill to try to pulp?  Going to try my first batch of PC this weekend.
