Calcium Carbonate experiment 2.
For this I soaked a book in water and then covered it with Calcium Carbonate powder. I placed the book between two planks of wood and put objects on top of the plank to weigh it down and put the book under pressure. I then left this for a few weeks. When I took the book out it was partially covered with thick powder and the page edges had a solid covering.
I quite like the results of my experiments with Calcium Carbonate, they do create a sculpture like quality to the books, and make them look unread. However I think I am going to focus on freezing books.
