How to make paper material.

Making paper yourself is a bit time consuming but not especially complicated and you probably have most or all of the necessary raw materials. The term sandpaper is a misnomer since most coated abrasives contain neither sand nor paper. Many raw materials make up the ingredients for making paper and common paper making materials include grass straw and wood. Instead a typical coated abrasive contains a backing of cotton polyester or rayon with an initial layer of adhesive backing the make coat applied to it.

Now go to page 141 and follow carmen s directions for making your own paper. Coating adds chemicals or pigments to the paper s surface supplementing the sizings and fillers from earlier in the process. Make sure you put plenty of water and not too much fabric in the blender at a time fabric is sturdier than paper and the extra work the blender has to go through can burn out the motor. Gently lift the fabric out of the frame.

Guess how i discovered that interesting tidbit. Tree pulp is not an optimal material for paper making. This is what you will need to make paper 5 sheets of construction paper you can use any type of paper you have at home that does not have a shiny coat or wax on it 2 sheets of white paper optional about 3 gallons of warm water you won t necessarily use the entire amount a big enough container to hold that much water and fit the mold. Perhaps this is another reason for them ripping.

The paper may be further finished by passing through a vat of sizing material. It may also receive a coating which is either brushed on or rolled on. In fact felt is the traditional material to use when making paper. An elaborate series of steps is necessary to mechanically and chemically break down the rigid source material into usable pulp and further.

The fibers in these raw materials are held together with a binder to produce the paper. Lift slowly and gently to make sure that the paper doesn t come back up off of the towels or felt when you lift up the frame. The by product pulp from sugar beets and sugar cane can also be used attempting to reduce waste some paper manufacturers use paper products and textiles. Weaker short fibers like recycled papers which are mostly wood or those that have been processed over and over again make papers that aren t strong compared to rag flax fibers etc.

Production starts when the make coat is applied to one side of the backing material. The wet sheet of paper should remain on the fabric.
