I purchased direct from China at rice paper.com I bought "Mulberry" which is ultra thin single ply 34"x78" for $8.45. Unfortunately minum order is $10 so I bought two. It has worked excellent, completely disappears and I have enough to leave my heirs :)
Only slight problem is it is so thin that once in awhile it tears going through the printer but if careful it is fine. Use very small pieces of tape to attach to regular binder sheet.

ricepaper.com did not bring me to the site you must have bought from. Is there a better web address.

I have a horde of rice paper I bought years back when it was disappearing from art stores due to cost and lack of demand.

There are a million kinds of rice paper. For our purposes a plain tan student grade paper works best.

It would be nice to have a new source to direct people to.

Yes, it should be very light weight. If it doesn't occasionally jam your printer it's too thick. Piggybacking on heavier paper works too. A slight tan color disappears better than white.

I apply my decals after the hull is glassed and add glass on top.

Wet-out paper with resin and slow hardener with warm temperatures for the most transparent results.
