: I just glassed the name of my first boat. I was reading that rice paper
: worked well. I ended up using tracing paper and was only partly satisfied.
: I found Rice paper but it was for sketching and was very thick. It did not
: wet out well enough. I was looking for rice paper in a parchment or
: something similar. What has everybody used and what worked best. And any
: suggestions as to where to get it? I looked at all the craft stores and
: paper stores without finding what I wanted.

I experimented with different papers including tracing paper, kleenix, toilet paper but what really work well for me and wetted out great was thin white Christmas wrapping paper.
