Step one: Remove thin film of dryer lint from trap.
Step two: Lay lint gently into one segment of (330mm x 215mm) raised lip tray.
Step three: Repeat loads of laundry until entire tray is covered. (we recommend using sheets from the same color of load for each individual tray but feel free to
experiment)
Step four: spray entire surface of tray filled dryer lint with waterproofing seal coat spray or equal parts pvc glue and water mixture.
Step five: Place weighted tray sized insert onto lint sheets, drain excess liquid and allow to dry for at least eight hours before removing insert.
Step six: Remove insert and use the first sheet of your very own home-made parchment to send a thank you note to the makers of Lintionery.
A search for prior art turned up in an anno to this idea...sorta.

Homemade Lint Paper
http://www.planetpa...er_lint_crafts.html According to the directions in this recipe, dryer lint by itself will not give your finished paper product enough body, and so requires re-inforcing fibers from blenderized scrap paper. [jurist, Sep 26 2006]

I think you're stepping on the toes of [lintkeeper2]. |

I'm sure there is a dirty laundry aspect
to this somewhere lurking in it's
exploitation. It's a great idea, with
much potential. + |

<Obligatory WIFRT> Before I read the category, I thought this was going to be a new game where players had to guess a word based on shapes you formed from dryer lint. |
|
|
If you end up choosing to stay with the "Lintionary" name, you probably should consider changing the spelling to "Lintionery" to indicate that it derives from Lint + Stationery. |
|
|
<pedant>Yup, [jurist], I was deceived by the a/e thing as well. Thought it was some kind of first-world, over-whitegood-endowed dictionary with seventeen words for different types of dryer lint, equivalent to the (I know, I know: apocryphal) variants of eskimo words for snow. </p> |

lint, fuzz, fluff, down, combings, fibres, wadding, fleece, thatch, fur, flock.... |
|
|
+ well I like Parchlint just fine, too. |
|
|
The name has been changed to protect the linty. although it looks like [Jurist] found other prior art. |
|
|
You know, I never even thought to look for this idea anywhere but the Halfbakery. How bad is that? |
|
|
Having made my own paper-crafts at home I can reassure you that lint makes a lovely addition. :) |

When I was in the Navy, our Ship's Laundryman made fake rats out of excess lint... Your idea is far more useful. |
|
|
I once cut off all my hair and made it
into a most excellent rat, which I kept in
the ice box in the fridge. With all the
white frost that accumulated on it, it
scared the hell out of unwary ice cube
seekers. |

All happened in an apartment I was
staying in, in San Francisco many years
ago (sighs sadly). I'm sure I have pics
somewhere. I keep my hair so short
now that I can make mites out of the
clippings and stick them all over the
ceiling. They are time consuming, but
worth the effort. "Did something just
fall in your drink?" - "There's something
wrong with you - do you know that? -
(recent conversation) |

Hair Ceiling Mites. Some things you
write about, but others you just do. |
|
|
Yep, nothing like a good toenail clipping armadillo. |
