Although I am only new to this group I have been making things from paper
slurry for over 10 years now. I use all sorts of raw materials including
old cardboard boxes and books. I find it works best if I store my raw
materials in an old bath outside and the rain keeps them wet. This
pre-soaking makes the fibers tease apart quicker and better in the mixer.
I just discard the non useable items like the plastic tape from the boxes
while I am using the pulp. Using this pre-soaking I find I can use a
much wider range of raw materials.
