Has anyone tried alternative fibers in *concrete* paperclay?
This is the recipe that replaces the flour in standard paperclay with Portland cement, so it goes:
Paper pulp
Joint compound
PVA glue
Portland cement
Honestly, the process of soaking and blending paper is such a pain in my ass and I'd love to substitute something I can just buy and store in the workshop. I found some short hemp fibers that aren't too far off from paper, but what about synthetic fibers? Nylon, fiberglass, polyester? Any pitfalls I should look out for?
