[AdamsSara]

@origamimaster2002 I've once tried using thinned down white glue (PVC), and that worked nicely, too.

please can I buy some of this off of you?

(I'm not very good at making it :P) Please get back to me.

[AdamsSara]

@CirciSurfMusic Sorry, I don't sell paper. I fear it wouldn't be a good deal for either of us. For you, because it'd be too expensive for what I have to offer, and for me, because the paper takes some time to make, and I like to use my time for making videos, rather than making paper. ;)

I have tried making this but the paper keep splitting as it is drying. I blow dried it on high, then tried it again on low. I know this could be the problem. Does this happen still if you let it dry naturally?

[AdamsSara]

@mrbluepie Using a blowdryer has several disadvantages. The paper will probably be a lot wavier, and as you already experienced, the risk of it splitting is much higher. So I'd say try letting it dry over night and see if that helps. :)

Hi,

I tested a bit with preparing Natural tissue/unryu paper.

The paper i have has a very low quality and with this method my paper became AMAZING

You must fill the Methy cellulose or wallpaper paste in a party cup.Then do you give pva glue and potato starch to it.now mix it with a brush an prepare the paper.but dont use to much starch.the result is 3x better than pure Mc.There's no final shaping necessary cause the paper keeps in the form in wich it is foldet.Have fun with it

japanesse paper works?

[AntimonioOrigami]

Well it's not a big problem since it's my first attempt, but I'm realizing that cutting will be a few more difficult and surely folding something like the "ancient dragon" is easier if the paper lie straight.

I'm quite sure that the ironing won't be a good choice to solve the problem, am I right?

Have you got any hint to avoid this problem in my next double tissue?

Thanks

Alessandro.

This video go beyond the excellence, it's superb.

I'm sorry if I'm gonna to rake up an old video that last comment was done 6 month ago, but I've just finish to try it and the result is amazing, first of all THANK YOU!

Secondly, a question:

Maybe I've done something wrong, 'cause during the rest (at the aim of let the paper to dry) it's happen something different from your one.

The paper start curling in itself, starting from the corner, and proceed along the long side for one or two cm.

@itsmeordadog , I'm not sure, but it might be cos u used wallpaper paste instead of plaster...

[itsmeordadog]

I have tried making double tissue and I had a couple of problems. I used the wallpaper paste and used a roller to put it on. I used paper clips to make sure the paper was aligned and I covered it so that it changed colour to a darker shade. Anyway, when it dried for the night i peeled it off my plastic board surface and the paper completely seperated from each other. I don't know what I did wrong or if I left anything out but seeing as you do this all the time, can you give me some pointers? thx
