[Origami] Methods for creating duo-tissue paper?
I prefer spray glue to the methycellulose- white glue comb ination. I find it quicker and easier. I have taken classes with Michael Verry and Kathy Stevick to check out the alternative method. You have to be very careful in doing two sided tissue foil with the MC-White glue method or let it dry before doing the second side. I found that sometime the paper got too wet to work with it. I use the spray glue. The first thing that I do have cut the foil to size. I place the paper on the foil Then I weight it down in the Middle with a yard stick and dumbbell so the paper does not shift. I then either roll the paper up on a cardboard tube (like Michael) or just lay the paper across the weight. I spray the glue on the exposed foil. I then either unroll the paper or lay it down on the glued foil. I get foil in many different weight depending on what I am making. I had been getting some "heavy duty" foil from the dollar store was the thinnest. Unfortunately they changed brands and it is now thicker. Kathy gets me some rolls of regular foil from Sam's Club in 500 feet. It is almost18 inches wide. Tissue paper is generally 20 inches by 20, 24, 26, or 30 inches long. I have used Reynold's wrap when I have larger or less complicated models. I recommend against using the "Bleeding" tissue paper since it will fade quickly in the sunlight. For interesting patterns, Jonathan Baxter recommended napkins. You have to separate the layer and only take the top layer (with the printing on it). It is very thin which make handling very difficult but it is worth it. I have used this for making large bugs. Mark

I've used mc before to bond two different colors of unryu.

In reply to JC asking for any ideas or experience with duo-tissue preparation, I sent along instructions for the process I have been using for many years. Should you enjoy to see photos of the process, as well as a finished model using this pristine paper, visit http://orifun.weebly.com/ ORIFUN to all, Dianne

JC Nolan asked: > Anyone have any ideas or experience with duo-tissue preparation? Sara Adams made a pretty good video on making double Tissue paper: http://www.happyfolding.com/instructions-double_tissue This technique works especially well with bleeding tissue paper and results in a paper that feels like one sheet and not like two glued together. The paper will be very crisp and awesome to fold. For non-bleeding paper it might be necessary to first lay down a sheet of tissue paper, then add a layer of MC paste and then add another sheet of tissue paper and add a little MC on top. If possible however I'd rather go with the bleeding paper. Nice Greetings Anna from Vienna/Austria
Re: [Origami] Methods for creating duo-tissue paper?
A few years back I had a need for duo tissue paper (2 pieces of tissue bonded together) and used my standard method for foil-backing paper... Anyone have any ideas or experience with duo-tissue preparation? -- JC If the goal is only to hold the tissue together for folding vs. the added thickness or texture opportunities various wet glues can provide, I use a repositionable glue stick. It glides on easily, with no bumps, buckles, wrinkles or creases in the resulting duo paper. A clean application with no drying time, the process in completed in seconds. Cut the papers to the desired finished sizes. Apply a light coat of the glue stick to each edge of one piece of tissue paper, moving from the middle of each edge to the corner. Aligning and laying the 2nd piece of tissue paper to one edge of the prepared tissue paper, roll he 2nd piece of tissue paper down to the opposite edge of the prepared paper. On first try, should you be "off" somehow, simply pull back the 2nd piece of tissue paper, and realign. Voila!! OriFUN to all, Dianne
