Did that make sense? =:?(
Whut?
Easiest way to tell if the stuff is paper mache or some funky plastic is to clip off a small sliver & light it.
If it smells horrible & produces black "floofies" then its plastic & you don't want to use it!

Don't forget to drive the old primer out, then you can use a nail as a punch to get the cut wads out of the case.

I top off my revolver cylinder chambers with a mixture of 2/3's Butter Crisco an 1/3 pure beeswax. I put the ingredients in an empty soup can in a pot of boiling water till melted --- stir --- then pour in a holding can --- let dry --- Then use a plastic knife to spread over the face of the chamber. The solution does not run when the cylinder gets hot.

i use sagebrush wads $36/1000. i considered making my own but so many projects, so little space. i do cut some wax paper wads with a 45 or 9mm pistol case to use between powder and lubed wad when i load to keep a revolver loaded for a 2 or 3 weeks.
