kittriana said: Weak solutions, yes, but when I hauled fresh cardboard boxes from the plant, they were soaking wet, with something, I never asked, They dry enroute, but dust from cardboard raises fire hazards so I doubt the stuff is stored dry very long. It doesn't take long for cardboard on the ground to lose its shape and have crickets waiting for unwary meals on wheels. You need to understand, there are different grades of products offered to we consumers. Food grade products are specifically that - safe for people - so it can depend on what your cardboard was used for.


Kat, due respect, "soaking wet, with something, I never asked" isn't convincing proof. Lotta stuff whirling around the internet about that has pretty well been debunked. I think you've got an urban myth there.
