Hi,
I heard that there was an very esay way to make good papier maché pulp :
The Washing machine > You put shredded paper (out of a shredded paper machine from the office) into a pillow bag and you put it in a washing machine in a hot program and dry hot > The result is said to be really fluffy and good
DID ANYONE TRIED THAT ALREADY ? THANKS FOR YOUR FEEDBACKS

That's a new one for me! I had heard of running paper and water through a garbage disposal, but never a washing machine. I wonder if there would be any problem with filters?
It would be interesting to hear if anyone has done it.

Just thought of forgotten tissues in my washing machine

IF I would try it, I would use a second pillow bag over the first pillow bag filled with shredded paper. This might be healthier for the washing machine I suppose ;O)
I heard this "rumor", too - but I never tried it, new washing machines are sooo expensive ;O)
greetings from Germany,

I think it was David Svoboda who tried this and the pillowcase burst. Very messy and expensive.
