Re: Lokta and Khadi PAPERs
I use lokta extensively, after sizing it with MC, often in two layers, be it only for a colour change. It is a marvel... Don't know the other, though...

Re: Lokta and Khadi PAPERs
I've been folding from Lokta for a while. Yes Lokta is a good paper to fold with usually I treat it with MC or back coat for color change. Since Lokta is handmade they all come in different weights from thin to heavier weights. By looking at the shop they have some nice paper i'd say try it out i buy my sheets for around $4 so i think that should be a good price.

Try looking for elmer's art paste. You can get it via amazon, or many other art supply stores.chesscuber98 wrote:Problem is that i can not find MC
