Hi All,
I just picked up a yard of long fiber 0-4" by 1/16th to 1/4 wide green douglas fir chips from a pole yard for garden mulch.
As I was unloading it hit me... for $25 I could have more shredded "paper" than I could make in a week of chopping with my mixer.
Could one skip all or most of the paper chopping and use these long cellulose chips to make a similar material to light clay straw infill.
My studio is going to be post and beam with infill so load bearing isn't a problem.
I know this wouldn't technically be papercrete anymore but has anyone tried it? Or heard of any results of testing?
Mainly wondering if the resins would somehow interfere with the portland adhering to the material.
Thoughts, advice and real world experience would be appreciated!
