Abstract
Embodiments of a process for manufacturing a paper-based malleable dough for moulding and sculpting applications are described herein that include: soaking and mixing shredded paper in water, yielding a paper dough; and adding and mixing at least one setting-type joint compound with the paper dough. The at-least one setting type compound is added in a weight ratio of setting type compound to shredded paper of between about 11:8 to 17:8. The paper-based malleable dough allows creating objects that are ecological, durable, malleable and lightweight and that brings out the creative side of the user.
Claims23
A paper-based malleable dough manufacturing process, comprising:
- soaking and mixing shredded paper in water, yielding a paper dough;
- and
- adding and mixing at least one joint compound with the paper dough, wherein all of the at-least one setting type compound is added in a weight ratio of setting type compound to shredded paper of between about 11:8 to 17:8.
A process for manufacturing a product comprising:
- soaking and mixing shredded paper in water, yielding a paper dough;
- adding and mixing at least one joint compound with the paper dough, yielding a malleable dough;
- wherein all of the at-least one compound is added in a ratio of between about 675 g and 1125 g for one litre of paper dough;
- shaping the malleable dough in the shape of the product;
- and
- drying the product.
A kit for creating an object comprising:
- at least one joint compound;
- and
- instructions relative to soaking and mixing shredded paper in water for creating a paper dough and for adding and mixing the at least one setting-type joint compound with the paper dough.
A paper-based malleable dough comprising:
- paper and water, wherein the weight ratio of the shredded paper to the water is between about 1:4 and 1:6 and
- at least one joint compound in a weight ratio to paper of between about 11:8 to 17:8.
A paper-based material including paper and at least one joint compound in a weight ratio to paper of between about 11:8 to 17:8;
- the material having a density ranging between about 450 kg/m3 and 575 kg/m3.
