I've been experimenting with my mother-in-law's Explore Air 2 using crease patterns mocked up in Inkscape, and immediately ran into obstacles.
I applied standard thickness paper that I'd use for tesselations to a mat, which I noted was very sticky, and then of course upon completing the scoring, the paper tore and curled while trying to remove it. I've seen some recommendations, including trying to make the mats less sticky, applying freezer paper to them and using painter's tape on top of that to affix the paper you actually want to score, etc, but I haven't tried that yet. I feel certain this problem has been solved by someone in the community. Any "sure-fire" techniques?
