Nice. Thanks for sharing. I started using wood glue for holding cardboard layers together to make a bedside table with a bunch of customized sections to hold my headphones, tv remote, a stack of mini plastic drawers, etc.. But, never would have thought of going beyond just lightly sticking layers together. That I could make it tougher. I started searching for strength tests of different glues to see if I was wasting wood glue on cardboard, where maybe regular elmers glue all or school glue would be enough. But now you're convincing me to go even further, and bringing more creative ideas to mind. :D
THANK YOU!... for demonstrating durability. I have designed a bicycle trailer using schedule 80 PVC and card board. I know the PVC will work but it has been difficult to find anyone showing structural strength of cardboard. Standing on it and pick it up with one hand was a Eureka moment for me.
Hey just wondering did you use some wheat paste for the cardboard like to cover the edges or somethin I've got a lot of cardboard at home I'd plan on make a diy drill caseing with it I just gotta figure out how I can make the cardboard get hard I tried pva glue with water I think I was just white Elmer's glue and I put water in the bottle of the glue and glued some cardboard together like 2 pieces I haven't tried it fully but is that what I'm supposed to use like Elmer's white glue with water and paint it on the cardboard do I need to paint it a few times again after it dries Rn I have card board but I'm trying to make a DIY drill caseing for my drill
I’m considering doing something similar... but I’m actually trying to make a bass tube for an 18” sub... would you even bother messing with cardboard or just skip straight to the fiberglass?
Very nice show of what can be done which most would not think would work. I recently started experimenting with PE (polyethelyne fishing line) which has less stretch than Kevlar or carbon fiber, which can be used on outer shell to reduce flexing, just like carbon fiber sheets. and also Sodium silicate as glue aka water glass.
At 0:51 and 1:18 I see wood supports inside the box. 1, is that the spot you were standing on? Right where there's solid wood? and 2. Is that what the wood screws were screwed into?
If you use the titebond to glue the cardboard layers together, it is just another layer of strength. Then, multiply that for however many layers your glueing together. It just adds multiple layers of rigid strength and stability. The spray glue won't give you any extra rigidity.
I had been wanting to make a model cabin/house but the material was the problem. I was trying to think of something sturdy besides wood that would be easy to work with, without electronic tools. My thought - could I harden cardboard? Quick check on YT - YES!!!!!! Thank You!
Can you please list out materials used in description with steps which one to use first and which glue u have used to layer cardboard...with music in background cant hear you well...but loved the box you made
He used the Titebond original in a 50:50 with water in spray bottle or squeeze bottle to seal the edges and boards together. Honestly, just use the titebond. Start with a 25 water to 75 glue solution is you are painting it on with a brush which is what I like. Then work your way down to 50 50 in a spray bottle it that's the method you want to use. I would add water a little at a time to thin it. I learned about this by accident when I used dollar tree wood glue to glue an Amazon box back together when i ran out of packing tape. That box was super sealed on the bottom and sturdy. Any wood glue will work, so I picked up a ton from the dollar tree before proces went up. I did not dilute the glue but was also pretty stingy with the glue ans it worked fine. I've used Elmer's white school glue. Works but not as well. If wanting water proofing seal the out side with Titebond 3. Check out the original paper mache channel. She makes masks and uses titebond 3 sealing with a layer of paper. I use brown shipping paper or newsprint paper from the hardware store for a clean look. Otherwise newspaper it is.
Use enough glue and it should work fine. Test it first before you fire in line with any houses. A layer of screen door netting between layers would improve the effectiveness.
Yea a lot of these are the same videos. I wont post the new ones twice. I am playing catch up, adding the videos here that fit here better. I am then going to delete them off of the Treasure Channel... maybe, I dunno. It gets rid of comments and stuff so I am not sure. But I am definitely going to keep things clean going forward, I feel better about it this way. Ideas here - rocks there. Unless for some reason this channel makes no traction at all, then I will go back to posting both on FTiC. I made this account 4 years ago, and it has a video with 11k views - so I am going to see if that will help out at all.
Titebond III is the waterproof one you want. Check out the ultimate paper mache channel or blog. She talks about how she uses it making masks then painting them. They hold up amazingly well.
So I have a cardboard display is there a way to make it more durable spray paint or anything else it’s in brand new shape but I still want to make it more durable
... if you can disassemble the display, get some epoxy resin, thin it out with some acetone, or something similar, that won't eat the cardboard. Cover all the surfaces with the epoxy mixture, Outdoors. Let it dry outside, when it cures, those panels will be as tuff as wood, and solid. Test a small piece first with the epoxy mixture/coating
@@shaynaformity1384 That’s what I was thinking, possibly doing “poor man’s fiberglass” and then painting. If you were going to paint, I wonder if you could just use wheat paste in place of the wood glue. It would be a lot cheaper, and I wonder if the coat of paint would protect it.
Not so much for a hard shell but you can use what's called RedGuard to seal it. Home Depot sells it. It's basically paintable rubber. I had one of these boxes hit over 145db at 28hz with around 10,000 watts. It was sturdy as a rock! That's why I shared the idea. Works great. Lot's of people got videos of the setup from different locations. I no longer have the truck that was in. Actually the truck literally fell apart from the bass... pretty cool =) lol
Don't need to coat it no, just add dalops of glue, PVA glue, which is wood adhesive, make sure to use plenty around the edges. If you are making like 5 or 6 or more layers, after you glue them, use wood screws, you will be amazed. Sorry for the delay in reply... I am busy on my other channel
double currogated cardboard can hold the wieght of a human too you have to be carefull but currogated cardboard is pritty strong. espcally double .i have same moving boxes for 10 years filled
Hey I really need your help can u give me the list of the materials u used to make this because I need to make a 131cm on length 10 cm on thickness and 30 cm wide cardboard platform that could at least hold 90 pounds
You can honestly get away with as much as 50/50, which sounds crazy but it does still work. It just depends how much of a mess you can stand, as it will become runny
PVA = Poly Vinyl Acetate That's the chemical name for white glue. Wood glue is usually just stiffer when liquid than the stuff you buy for your kids at Staples.
@@anjalaahmad7766 like what, do i just spray on enough to stick? do i spray enough it soaks the cardboard? cardboard is corrugated, it has a lot of space in the middle, do I need to compress it? he seems to have glue in those corrugated space as well, how did he do it? im not convinced that "just gluing" will do the job, you can try standing on 6 layers of cardboard, but that alone it's not gonna hold 200 lb. the only way it's made strong with glue is if the glue get all the way inside the paper, which he didn't explain how it's done
@@BBoycire85 Mr DIY is a youtube channel where he makes furniture out of cardboard. Watch his technique, it will helpyou understand how thecardboard is so strong at the end. 😊

Awesome! I'm building my entire house out of cardboard
Lolol, amazing, show us when you're finished😀👏
I have been wanting to do that for years!!! I bet it will be so well and insulate it also!
I have always wanted to do that. I was wondering if you could build an RV of sorts put of it?
Making a home decor piece and using cardboard as a backboard. Found this video extremely helpful. Thank you!!!
Make it even stronger by having a layer of fibreglass insect screen material saturated with PVC glue. Gives it amazing strength.
Make a Hulk Buster out of that

There should be a love button to click! Thanks for this video. This helped me a great deal in my crafting.
Hey man can you do a step by step? I want to know how you did it, and like how many layers exactly
this is cool to see i could make a bike camper using this i have been searching for a light weight option for it
I NEEDED this video...thanks
SCIENCE!! cheers for the Idea :-)
Paper is made from wood. Makes sense.
Perfect for making a nice big sturdy toy box without having to spend freaking 300 bucks
Thank you, very helpful, though the music excel a bit the narrative thanks

are you using PVAc glue for hardening? thanks

How many layers of cardboard you used ?
What does the glue do under the temps that would be in a very hot car? Does it get runny or tacky or stink?
I wanna make a pc case out of cardboard and now my mind is filled with ideas
Did you use canvas on the outside of it
bro you should have a nobel prize
Brilliant
Trying to picture my build, but I just see Alvin and the chipmunks using a looper.
Can you please list out materials used in description with steps which one to use first and which glue u have used to layer cardboard...with music in background cant hear you well...but loved the box you made
Same here, would like to understand better what he said about glue
He used 3M spray adhesive to glue together the original layers of cardboard
He used the Titebond original in a 50:50 with water in spray bottle or squeeze bottle to seal the edges and boards together.

I was wondering if I could use regular screws. THANK YOU
Better late than never sorry... yes you can use about any screws that you would use with normal MDF or similar types of wood
How do you think it would work as a backstop for a BB gun? Of course I would use a few layers of cardboard
Use enough glue and it should work fine. Test it first before you fire in line with any houses. A layer of screen door netting between layers would improve the effectiveness.
Looking for this idea but doing it with sodium silicate also called Liquid Glass!
I watched this on treasures channel. Thanks for watching mine and subbing. I always like and comment. ATB & HH

Thanks, will this also make the cardboard water proof?
You wud need to waterproof it with a water proof applicant of your choosing
I believe titebond 3 is what diy foam boat builders use. Many YT channels here that show the process.

How much does the glue add to the weight once it dries?
Little to none.

This is so intriguing. Any ideas on a way to coat the cardboard to make it weather resistant/ water proof/ hard-shelled?
Paint it with exterior paint.

Or titebond 3 is waterproof. Really depends on how moisture proof you need it to be.
Titebond 3 is waterproof. Titebond II would also make it fairly waterproof. Just don’t throwing the piece in a pool.
