I was skeptical of this product but maybe I’ll give it a shot. All of the unnecessary products we are sold in this hobby make me wary of anything like this. But really, how different or more effective is this stuff than a water and white glue mixture?
Water and white glue tends to degrade the paper as it saturates it, and so you end up with something much more fragile than even the flimsy tissue paper you had before. This doesn't do that, it wets the paper, but really doesn't weaken it at all.
it does not damage or reactivate paint, but unfortunately, the paint will seal the paper, and not allow you to shape it with paper shaper. You generally need to shape, then paint.
Wow Ill have to give this stuff a try. VMS carries some amazing products.
They really do! Let them know I sent you!
Thanks a lot for the kind and insightful review! 🆒
My pleasure!

Agreed 💯. I'm getting some of this as the tissue paper tarps always look rough and never quite heavy enough. It's not overly expensive either
great video really helpful thanks
Sure thing!
You do realize that it is nothing more than watered down PVA (Elmers School) glue, with maybe a little IPA mixed in?
Surprisingly enough, I thought the same thing before I bought it. Have you tried it?
True its a convenience product more or less.
I got the printer paper to work. Just use more of VMS paper shaper.
does it affect paint? i want to paint a flag and then shape it
