I think so, he already said he could form a reasonably dense ball, and that 
the pulp mill had already some of the densification because paper is already 
denser than water, about twice the density of dry softwood.

So as a hand squeezed ball self binds but is still wet then the need is to 
squeeze out more water. Which is why I reminded him, on [Stoves] that meat 
mincers can do this job without the need for the high pressures necessary in 
pellet presses.
