Double, one sided or two sided tissue foil?

Can someone write the advantages and disadvantages of every kind of tissue foil?

I'll start off with saying there are some cons with tissue foil that you can't really take away. Like that it generally has a big learning curve, and can be difficult to shape unless you are experienced. Also the shinyness of the foil can be an annoyance. If you have access to tissue paper, and can get methylcellulose, I'd really recommend just making double or triple tissue. It is much easier to work with, and generally looks better. But here you go anyways.

• Double TF: Good for simpler models. I wouldn't use it for anything above complex.
• Pros - Nice, solid color on one side. Easier to fold simple-ish models.
• Cons - shiny foil on one side (can be a pro I guess), can be too thick for more complicated models
  One sided TF: A little better for complex models.
• Pros - thin enough for complicated models, foil so easy shaping.
• Cons - Shiny foil, metallic color shines through on colored side. Can be hard to work with.
  Two sided: The best in my opinion.
• Pros - No shiny foil on the sheet, except the minute amount showing through. Foil, so easy to shape. Relatively thin, may be difficult with really complicated models.
• Cons - big learning curve.

Double tissue foil?
= tissue - tissue- foil
One sided tissue foil?
= tissue- foil
Two sided tissue foil?
= tissue- foil- tisue

Just asking because I never heard of the double tissue being used because you still have the foil showing.
I would like to add Triple tissue foil
= tissue- tissue- foil- tissue
This is what I use most of the time.
Pro - With bleeding tissue you can make some new colors.
Red- brown - foil- white gives you nice red brown for a fox, or yellow on brown for a giraffe.
Because it is thicker it folds alot easier then the thin stuff. Easier to reverse creases. Folds almost like normal paper but still got the foil for easy shaping.
Con- And it is big one. Because it is thicker it can not be used for any anything more complex then high intermediate.

What bleeding tissue is?
And if you make triple tissue foil it will be too thick, isn't it?

Bleeding tissue paper looses colour when you make it wet.

Bleeding tissue is tissue where the colors mix when you put two sheets on top of each other. So in my example you can see spots of brown through the yellow.
It depends on what you are folding if it is too thick. I made stuff from trollip like his pronghorn pudu gazelle with this. They look real nice in my opinion. Most of my own animal designs are also folded with this. Works well on animals, but when things got wings or toes it tends too be too thick.
