In this video we learn how to recycle cardboard into durable, waterproof projects that can be built nearly for free!
Wheat paste based glue, UV protection, and non biodegradable alternative demonstrated.
Still planning on using cardboard molded stuff in my present projects, so this recent upload is very apropos. As a former pro automotive painter, I could easily use several finishing techniques to make far better surfaces than this video, if I was not so physically limited. The cardboard clay is begging to become heavier body filler, and a newspaper pulp would likely make a finishing surface.
Thanks for this post, this is really awesome!

Extremely cool process he discovered, very solarpunk.

The shellac and beeswax sounds indeed interesting for various puposes. I knew a similar technique for water-proofing fabic with dissolved silicone, but it is hard to use that to fix leaks in place after installation and is also obviously not very environmentally friendly.
