Editorial policy

The Editorial Desk is responsible for what this site publishes. A software tool is not an author and is not a papermaker.

Sources

We rely on published papermaking organisations, books, and makers with a documented practice. A guide links the specific pages and books that were consulted. We do not add a citation we have not opened.

House spelling

The site uses the spellings mould and fibre, including in the name Pulp & Mould. Other wording is plain American English.

Corrections

Write through the contact page if a cause, a check, or a source is wrong. We change the page and move the "Last updated" date when the advice or the sources change.

Editing tools

We may use software, including AI tools, to outline pages, edit sentences, and build the site. We do not run trials, so no guide claims to be tested. The desk checks each guide against its sources before it is treated as finished.

Ads and affiliate links

Advertising and affiliate relationships do not choose which fix we list or how we rank causes. Affiliate links, when a page has them, are labelled, and the page shows a short disclosure. Trust pages, legal pages, the problem finder, and the batch log do not carry ads. Ads also stay off a guide while its body is still an outline.

Safety limits

We do not publish a method for cooking fibre in lye or soda ash. We do not make medical claims. We do not claim that a papermaking activity is safe for children.
