Step 1: I get as far as I can with normal printer paper, always.

Then from there depending on how thick it gets I'll either use Terry Nicolas Tant paper or DIY foil paper.

Also another paper source that I like now is sandwich paper. You can get it from places like Subway, Quiznos and such.

Oh, thats why you were complaining that someone threw out your newspaper. I thought your brain had gone a bit twisted :twisted: . Lol ok now I get it. Maybe a explanation next time?
Ok I know I recommended baking paper, I was just passing down simple knowledge. Does anyone know where to get craft and/or baking paper?

paulius, I know you never mean to, but you double post many times. Even just a few days ago you posted six times with the same message in a row! :wink: What I would recommend is to only press submit once, and go to a different webpage to do something else while waiting. After, then look back on your message to make sure its how you like it to be. You can delete your last post if you act quickly. Just my thoughts

@Paulius - My comment was directly at folks using gratuitous, obvious profanity. My irony was that I believe they were some of the younger and talented folders....
