Thank you, Larry!
Peter the cast pulp looks amazing! Maybe you can share your pulp recipe with us this tomorrow on the live show! Would also be great to see the entire book!
I will show the entire book for sure. The cover is last on my list but in pieces because of water damage. And is also missing large chunks. I have most I think but haven’t really looked hard yet.
What tool are you using to apply the pulp? Even though I am soaking the shredded paper for a couple of days, using a blender (for a long time) and straining through a salad strainer and then a spaghetti strainer - the pulp will not dispense from a condiment bottle or a syringe adequately. I have used newspaper and comic book paper all without success. The castings I have done I have used a mini-spatula, but my pulp is just too uneven.
Dear Don, I make my pulp very smooth. Soaking the paper for a few days is helpful. I also strain it. I use a Micropipette (1000p). Make sure you have far more water than pulp and that would help. You can get the micropipettes on eBay, alongside their specific tips. The tips’ openings are rather narrow so I end up cutting them to widen. It is relatively more controlled way of adding the pulp. But make sure you don’t bid on the wrong size. They go for about $50 or less.
@@peteralachi3888 thanks - I appreciate this info. I am going to keep working on this and practicing.
What do you do with the actual staple? Do you set it in the solution?
Yes, depends on the extent of their rust, you can treat them with Evapo-rust.
