It's pretty straightforward, what are some of the craziest things you've done to finish off folding a model? for example, I folded Satoshi Kamiya's Ancient Dragon from a really big square, and aside from using the regular yarn and clothespins to hold it while it dried, i had to use 2 bull clips, a squeeze clamp, and I had to get it wet with the hose.
So, any of you do anything crazy to make your models perfect?

-Crumple it into a ball and pull out random parts of the paper to approximate some kind of form.
-Spit on the paper to help with shaping (believe it or not, it actually works).

How about dunking one of the best Flashers i made into a bucket of water with a rubber band to hold it together?

After all of the precreasing involved with Kamiya's Spinosaurus, I spilled soda on it. In frustration I crumpled it up, only to find later that the soda and crumpling gave the paper a nice texture and great foldability. The end result turned out great.

Due to lack of tissue paper to make tissue foil, I actually glued squares of 6" kami to a sheet of foil. Folded fine except for the thickness.
