Long story short, I'm interested in the prospect of making high density board (AKA Davey board, binder's board, cover board, etc.) and was wondering if you all had any suggestions. More details on what I've thought/researched so far below.

Not sure I intend to do this regularly, but I'd really love to understand the process better and try it myself at least once. I've scoured the internet and, surprisingly, not found any good tutorials! However, I've discovered the following passage from an old NYT article that sheds a bit of light on the manufacturing process, using recycled paper:

binder's board is made on slower single-cylinder machines on which layers of wet stock are accumulated until the desired thickness is achieved. The pulp is then squeezed by a press and oven-dried. The pressure and drying force the paper fibers to intertwine further. The result: a board that is solid, strong, stable and highly resistant to warping.

It sounds like the best way to do this would be essentially the same to the process described here but with a focus on getting a thicker pulp layer, potentially reducing the water content in the pulp vat, and maybe adding starch or some other stiffening ingredient.

Does that sound like the right path, or am I missing something obvious? Is it worth trying to replicate the baking that article mentioned? Thank you in advance for any and all suggestions.
