1)
Material - Fibers- Paper (one used to make paper bags) , Binders - Fevicol
Process
Take a sheet of paper used to make paper bags which is 145cms in length and 55cms in breadth.
Cut them into smaller pieces and soak them in water for 3-4 mins.
Grind them in a grinder and spread it for air drying so that it becomes almost like powder.
Take 500gms of the powder and almost the same amount of Fevicol and mix it to form dough like consistency.
Set it well in a mould to gain perfect geometry and remove the mould after 10-15 mins.
Leave it for drying
Combination of paper and fevicol in almost same proportion formed a rigid solid after 24 hours
2)
Material - Fibers- Saw Dust , Binders - Fevicol
Process
Take 500gms of saw dust and almost the same amount of Fevicol and mix it to form dough like consistency.
Set it well in a mould to gain perfect geometry and remove the mould after 10-15 mins.
Leave it for drying
Combination of saw dust and fevicol cracked out after 24 hours and could not form a solid as fevicol was more fluid .
3)
Material - Fibers- Saw Dust , Binders - Edible gum or Gondh
Process
Take 150gms of edible gum or gondh and dilute it in 100ml of water, stir it until it dissolved.
Take 500 gms of saw dust and the liquid dragon gum mix it well until it forms dough like consistency.
Set it well in a mould to gain perfect geometry and remove the mould after 10-15 mins.
Leave it for drying
The composite saw dust and dilute edible gum started to form a rigid solid but takes more than 24 hours to dry completely
Gondh or edible gum is sourced from plant gum which is a strong binding agent and a thickening agent.
4)
Material - Fibers- White EPE foam (used for packing) , Binders - Fevicol and PVC glue
Process
Take a sheet of EPE foam used for packing which is 110cms in length and 50cms in breadth.
Cut them into smallest pieces possible
Take 500gms of the foam, 240gms of Fevicol and 150gms of PVC glue and mix it to form dough like consistency.
Set it well in a mould to gain perfect geometry and remove the mould after 10-15 mins.
Leave it for drying.
The combination of foam fevicol and PVC glue takes time to dry and is more like sponge than a rigid solid.
