are these things useful?

[Mir Numaan]

hey,
i just wanted to know whether baking soda and diluter are of any use in origami?

[origami_8]

Ahm, and what for do you imagine these could be used for?

[Langko]

Huh???

What purpose would they have in origami?

[Mir Numaan]

to make paper stiffer?

[Benlewisorigami]

Noooo don't do that! It wont work out at all. It will turn your paper weird colors, depending on what dye is in it. Most likely, it will ruin your paper

I don't think baking soda will work. Paper is often slightly acidic and baking soda will just cause a chemical reaction. Not sure what diluter is.

But of course you can always try Benlewisorigami's motto - "I would rather fail trying than fail without trying...." and see what happens

I'm pretty sure that's what they said about wet folding at first.... you will never know until you try!

i will try it and see what happens but not right now, i am currently busy with my exams
