Re: [papercreters] Drill and blade suggestions



For small batches, a mortar mixer from harbor freight will work really well.  Just sharpen the blades.  Mortar is heavy work, so the mixer can take it.

Hello, I'm new to papercrete and excited to get started. I plan on mixing small batches. I've been researching drills but am a little wary. It seems as though many people have ruined the motors on drills mixing the slurry. Does anyone have suggestions for a good drill and blade?
Thanks,
Ronni

Re: [papercreters] Drill and blade suggestions



The best you can afford.

PC is hard on motors - you might want to get a cement mixer if you have significant volume.

I use the Home Depot mixer - about $275 as I remember.

PLUS a tip on making forms - build them wider at the top than at the bottom - might have to experiment a bit.

[papercreters] Re: bad season for papercrete



The problems with slow drying P/C can be quickly remedied. Find yourself some discarded Latex paint that has not been frozen. This can be done by soliciting a variety of paint stores, professional painters, hardware stores, etc.. For the equivalent of (3) 5 gallon buckets that are being mixed, add 3 cup fulls of the paint, mix thoroughly. Be prepared to do your pour quickly cause you will have less than a half hour before cure-out. This is almost magical in the way it speeds curing. Be aware that your tools must be cared for quickly also. Now, this works with my mix design and I don't know how it will work with yours. I utilize Portland cement, construction lime, clay, sand, and the F/C slurry.
