Does anyone have access to both:
-WFE reject, the type that hardens into a rock when cold
-Hemp fiber, ideally clean bast fiber
If so, what happens when you mix the 2 when the reject is hot? What is the quality of the end product?
I’d wager its borderline bulletproof, especially if you carbonized the fiber first
I have access to the only fiber replicator in North America @ my pilot university. They can blend glass, hemp & you name it to create a new type of fiber. This university also has only 1 of 3 patented CBD products - for fight against Hep-C.
I wondered if this would be in the scope…
Edit to add - interested in bringing something to attention if has environmental value…
Hemp fiber ? I do in Europe
I have CBD reject from my WFE, a couple hundred pounds of hemp stalk, and a guy that loves to shoot things! How would you suggest mixing the fiber with the reject oil? Would you strip the stalk to collect strands from a certain layer, or chop up the stalks into bits? and then would you form bricks in molds or something like that?
My biggest question is, what’s the point? Haha I love doing experiments but I’m not sure what the objective of this would be. To make a better type of Hempcrete?
It might work well in the frozen north, but just like the cannabinoid jar sealant it is a waste product of, I suspect it will soften and lose it’s functionality when warmed.
great idea though!!
there might be a missing ingredient that makes it work…
Perhaps an epoxy hardener?
Or this, which curiously BVV stocks Cactus Juice Stabilizing Resin | Wood Stabilizer | BVV
Ideally the bast
to recoup some of the losses incurred making said WFE waste?!?
Whats the point of using hemp instead of plastic or trees for most everything those 2 things can do?
The reasons are endless, from lower cost to stronger materials. But what got me on this kick was @cbddent and my desire for a heady hemp toothbrush to match my hemp tooth paste
I would be happy to buy Some of said hemp toothbrushes! That’s a great idea.
Sounds like some development is in order! 
Hemp plastic does sound like something DuPont would have already patented in the 40s-50s, but I may be wrong on that one…
We’re running R&D into hemp pellet gasification powered industrial generators. Different idea, but on the same concept line I guess 
Mass consumption, but would be a plus for larger farms…
High pressure extruding, with a slicer. Get the pellet dimensions right and I can toss it in my Traeger smoker!
I attended a hemp & Cannabis/entrepreneur thing close to my home, and the majority of the ideas where hemp based. One that I thought was amazing was this company
Another one was a Hempact - Female Sanitary Pad
Edit: company name
Too bad they care more about money than actually doing anything good for the world.
Patents are for those who fear scarcity.
acrylated epoxidized hemp oil

It totally felt like that, since they would only pitch to a new type of snowboard/ski creation.
Seems like the best bet is to epoxidize some hemp seed oil
I always thought the stuff would make good 3D printer material. The stuff I had was like hard plastic or glass at room temp, didn’t really lose any viscosity until around 120F, didn’t become oily until around 170F.
I’m quite sure in colder climate, mixed with fibers and some type of epoxy, it would be like that car body Henry Ford made back in the day. He was smacking the hood with an axe and not denting it or something like that.
it makes a huge mess, current extruder technology isnt good for the material, as the heat is carried up the filament it transitions and becomes pliable, which as you can imagine, when it becomes pliable in a pinch gear set up, things get sticky real quick… although that said, my spent biomass based hemp filament is fire
Nanotubes are expensive I bet
Too bad we couldnt find an all natural alternative to them
Theres a guy in Colorado making MgO/Al geopolymers with hemp. The stuff looks bullet water and fire proof. Plus a very high resistance to chemicals. It has stronger flex and compressive strength than steel reinforced concrete. Might be overkill for a toothbrush but nonetheless I can think of a few potential uses
