I'm trying to break down fibers for homemade paper.
The procedures I am following parallel some commercial processes.
So, I want to inject steam into a rotating chamber partially full of fibers and a 5-10% lye solution that is being heated.
I have done a TON of research. I can't find a single viable way to coat my pressure cooker (Al), or this great pot I bought for non-pressurized cooking (also Al).
So...
I guess this is back burnered for awhile. Last thing I was researching was finding a piece of eight inch cast iron pipe and welding the ends closed, and putting a hatch in the center.
It's pissing me off, because I don't like hearing there is no good/inexpensive answer, and I'm pretty good with organic chemistry applied to energetic research. I never woulda thought this would be what would wind up stumping me.
Thanks for the responses!
