I want to explain my experience buying at http://www.hqpapermaker.com

Today arrive my paper from Thailand.
This is correctly packed, but this arrived a little destroyed.

I buy 876 foils of paper, and this i really cheap.Only 100$ for it(included delivery)

I buy handmade mulberry wrapping(70gsm), elephant dung paper(100gsm),tissue handmade mulberry(15gsm)

the only problem is that if you live far from Thailand it took 2 months.

I do not have any affiliation with them, is only my recommendation

Giro.

Hmm... 2 months is a bit long for paper to arrive, and I agree that the package is very destroyed... but it does seem to have good prices! Have you folded anything from these papers yet?

I was looking at the papers at HQPaperMaker and I was interested to find that the mulhberry paper is 20cm by 25cm is there a reason for this? I would think that it would be a square. Interesting...

Do you mean 20x25 inch? My papers size is 50cmx70cm.
I also don't know why most of the papers are in that size. Usually I cut them into 2 sheet of 35 cm square. But you can order custom cut (up to 130 cm x 2000 cm) for milled mulberry paper from HQ.

Can anyone suggest me how to combine several backcoated papers into a larger sheet? Is mending process done after backcoating? Or I must backcoat them altogether so they become one larger sheet when dry? Because I always get unsatisfying result, wavy and crumpled at glued part, or separation of 2 layers when I fold the paper

Thank you,
LZ

The packaged mulberry is in 20cm by 25cm... The individual sheets are 50cm by 17cm... Have you tried using a spray adhesive and rolling the paper onto the seam? I would think that would work possibly. I'm not sure though, just my thoughts...
