The history of paper is fascinating. Papyrus was the first paper-like writing material in Egypt made from reeds around 8 to 10 thousand years ago. I don't know when rice paper in Japan was invented. Bamboo was used in China. In the European Middle Ages linen rags were pounded into pulp for very high quality paper. With the colonization of America the same was done with cotton. Paper from wood is relatively recent. Also the same pulp used for paper has been mixed with glue and sawdust to make a wood-like composition for at least 200 years.

Sodium Silicate or "Water Glass" is used as an agent in paper and cardboard but it is a one time use chemical. After the sodium silicate is exposed to the air it reacts with the small amount of CO2 in the air to form silicon dioxide and sodium carbonate. The silicon dioxide, chemically the same as sand, now binds the paper fibers together.

Shellac is one of the oldest waterproofing coatings in history used on wood. It's plant-based (Toxicodendron vernicifluum) and would be a nice post process for this material. Excellent video!
@jeffspaulding98342 жыл бұрын
I second the shellac suggestion. It's a good waterproofing solution (although it dissolves in alcohol) and it's completely natural. However, if you buy shellac you're almost certainly not getting something from toxicondendron vernicifluum. You're probably getting lac bug secretions. Mix them with alcohol (or buy it premixed in a can) and you've got a relatively durable waterproof finish. There's a million tutorials on the 'net for working with this stuff and it's easy and safe. Lacquer from toxicondendron vernicifluum is not easy or safe (at least until it's cured, after which it's food-safe). It's like painting with poison ivy. It requires a lot of practice to apply properly and almost everyone has a horrible allergic reaction (again, think poison ivy - it's the same chemical) to the uncured stuff. It also takes a long time to apply, as you generally do quite a few thin coats, each of which has to fully cure before you move to the next coat. If you mess it up, you run the risk of giving anyone that touches it a horrible rash. Traditional lacquer isn't seen much outside of Asia - mostly because we have synthetic stuff that is very much not environmentally friendly but is a whole lot easier to work with. The stuff you buy at Lowe's or Home Depot will be synthetic lacquer. Shellac and lacquer are two terms that get very confused, mostly due to their shared history, the way they're written in Sanskrit, and the way "lac" sounds like "lacquer" in English.
@GryffenHanson Жыл бұрын
You are confusing two different kinds of finishes. What you are describing when referring to the plant based qualities of (Toxicodendron vernicifluum) is actually Lacquer. Shellac is a different kind of finish made from the shells of the Lac bug, is not plant-based, and must be dissolved in an alcohol in order to be administered. They both create a polymerized wood finish, but they are not the same, and have different consistencies and properties. Hopefully this is helpful :)

Length of fibers is an ideal thing for cohesion, but I'd think that the compression would be difficult to maintain, as the original fibers would have something like "memory" and your end product would start fraying just a bit at the edges along the original edges of component cardboard?

@@alexmcfly31415 Just my two cents but anything can be flammable. You could use a file/sand and get small powder particles from the cardboard-molded part and put a flame to it, and it (the thin/small particles) will quickly catch fire. Things are just less flammable in general when the object has 1. less surface area 2. is much denser 3. more volume which gives greater heat capacity and a better means to transfer heat away from the hot surface. Only the surface (and not the inside) has a means to catch on fire because fire requires oxygen as fuel, its very difficult to get a block to maintain a fire, it just takes more time to bring up the heat of the object to keep the steady flame. Its mostly about the shape, hence why powdered metal is highly combustible and must be stored safely. Speaking of powdered metal, that's how 3D printing works for metal printing, as metal powder can quickly reach its flash point and melt. Powder metal companies' goal is to make the most spherical powder.

When i worked in a paper making studio all of our raw material got presoaked, this helped us control the ratio of cellulose to water that we needed to pull sheets of various weights. Might require a bit more putzing to figure out what ratio is right for any given mold, so I'd suggest establishing an idea density for a finished piece and try and work backwards from there to calibrate that ratio. As for using a hydraulic press, i'd say only use it if you want to scale up. In the studio I worked in we used hydraulic presses only when we had at least 50-100 sheets pulled (and we were a small shop). If you're interested in exploring water proofing maybe look into wax. Again it will take some experimenting because most fibrous mediums being wax coated are flat. If this kind of production were to be scaled you'd also need to invest in a good dehumidifier. Lots of organic matter and water can get pretty funky smelling and controlling mold in the work space is a constant battle
