HOW THE CRAP do you apply MC????

Sroge4 · Post by **Sroge4** » July 3rd, 2011, 3:52 pm

1. Find methyl cellulose
2. Put one sheet of tissue paper on glass surface (polished wood works too, but not as well)
3. Apply MC with paint brush, until the paper is soaked with it.
4. Put the second sheet on the first *BE CAREFUL*
5. apply another coat of MC
6. Let sit overnight
7. PROFIT. I mean, peel it off the table in the morning

Thanks!
But can it be applied after folding the said model?

Never tried it, but I suppose you could

Yes indeed. I seem to remember Natan having success doing this (folding from an unsized sheet, then sizing it afterward). If you are folding from an already sized sheet, you can definitely do it. It is essentially wet-folding, but with MC-a lot of people do this for complex, wet-folded stuff.

Look for Elmer's art paste online if you're in the US...

Redhead - would you mind asking your parents where they got the MC please? I would be interested to know -hopefully somewhere cheaper than where I got it!

It's sold as wallpaper glue...some hardware stores still carry it...mostly smaller ones though

Heh, I will ask them, but is wallpaper glue necessarily the same as MC?
