Hi i havent posted in a while but we have done somework with compressing blocks.
First you need to let the water drain off or it will just
shoot out everywhere and make a big mess.
We found that the blocks dont dry any faster but you can
handel them right off the press but you must be extreamly
carfull when doing this and lay them flat for 1 day
then stand them on there edge.
As for r value Barry Fuller did tests and said it dint
effect the r value but you should pick up a copy of his
report just to be sure.
Hope this helps
You can see our press in the pics area Called
Clair and Bruces pics
