for anyone still interested
Morrisons have an own brand cross cut shredder marked at £18 goes through the till at £6

I bought a couple of gerbils and anything that needs shredding goes to them (good luck putting anything back together after they've had it for 10 minutes).
They also make good pets for my daughter.
Please do not put any printed/colored shredded paper in with small animals! Print and colored ink can upset their digestion if they chew it.I think this job really needs
a much bigger hammer.

You joined up to resurrect a year old thread to push your own shredders. When you signed up, did you read the forum rules. I have marked your post as ......:spam:0

Bucket of hot water + paper + electric drill + paint or plaster stirrer
Soak paper in hot water for an hour then stir.
These people use bleach?

Whichever shredder you use, I advise after many 100's of sheets have gone through, take a clean sheet of paper and spread a SMALL amount of vegetable oil (NOT machine oil, engine oil or anything but vegetable oil, along the bottom of the paper, then feed it through. This lubricates the Rollers and cutters. DO NOT feed any paper with glue or adhesive through the shredder: it tangles up the rollers and cutters, which begin to slip.I think this job really needs
a much bigger hammer.

If a fire isn't possible, think back to making papier mache when you were kid - tear up the paper, soak it for a few hours, mash then squeeze into lumps.0
