If you buy EVERYTHING online, when will you ever leave the house or get any exercise? You'll get fat and pale, like a giant lump of pizza dough.

You can also buy exercise equipment online... as well as sessions with trainers !
But, if that is a problem, I believe that Hideo Komatsu has the solution:

YES!! If you use MC you NEVER use foil (MC doesn't stick to foil). The point of MC is for backcoating. It allows you to stick two thin sheets together, making one, often with different colors on each side. It also adds sizing, which gices the paper more ability to hold shape. Typically it's been used for nice papers.zxop9 wrote:thanks a ton, i just have one more question while i'm at it, as i read through other forums with info on htis product it almost seemed like they glued two sheets of tissue together with out any tin foil inbetween, is that what is happening or is it just a misunderstanding?
However a fairly recent trend has been using MC to stick two sheets of tissue paper together. This is a real 2+2=7 situation. The resulting paper is thick enough that it can be folded (but still quite thin), crisp, holds a crease, can have a crease reversed, holds its shape well, etc. The only problems really are that tissue paper is not PH-balanced ("acid-free") and has unstable dyes, so after a number of years your works may erode, just like tissue-foil ones.

I tried out double tissue for the first time recently (I folded Bahamut by the way), and I had less than perfect results. I found that creases are still difficult to reverse and it was hard to work with since it was so thin. I am not used to using large, thin sheets though, so that might be it too. I didn't wet-fold it, but it was still a pain. I will have to try it again and see if I get better results.
