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.
Claims21
A paper-based malleable dough manufacturing process, comprising:
- providing a paper dough comprising paper and water;
- and
- adding and mixing at least one setting-type joint compound with the paper dough, wherein the at least one setting-type joint compound is added in a dry weight ratio of setting-type joint compound to paper of between about 11:8 to 17:8.
A process for manufacturing a product comprising:
- providing a paper dough comprising paper and water;
- adding and mixing at least one setting-type joint compound with the paper dough, yielding a malleable dough;
- wherein the at least one setting-type joint compound is added in a ratio of between about 675 g and 1125 g for one litre of paper dough;
