Step one, cut the rags into small pieces and break them down into pulp. I tried this is a blender but it didn't work. It chopped it up OK but wouldn't get it fine enough to be "pulp". I then tried sulfuric acid, which did break it down but also turned it dark brown. I then tried 50% sulfuric acid but in the past 12 hours it hasn't done too much. Lye/water did little. I tried to use a food processor but it's my GF's and she was *not* happy about me using it for this
I've come to the conclusion that I need a mechanical device to beat or grind the fabric into pulp. I'm currently considering methods to do this, but I'm only doing it for fun and don't want to spend too much time or money on it. Does anyone have any ideas?
