In Response To: Seeking: Rice Paper Source (John Messinger)

I did that on a few S&G boats and some paddles. I used tissue paper that they put in boxes at gift stores. Like the stuff in a shoe box. This is a good time of year to ask for some. I taped it to a backing sheet and ran it through my black laser printer. Normal ink jet inks will fade. I just wanted a black logo. I put it under epoxy not under glass since I didn't glass the deck. I cut out the logo design close with my xacto knife and I would say it was 85% transparent but it looked perfect since the only paper showing was a small bit inside the design.

Art stores have all kinds of vellum and tissue but you would have to experiment. I'm not sure what Newfound had.
