the width i mean for making tissue foil bigger than 50on50 all the rolls of foil are at max 0.5m any idea?
take this guy for example,

he got tissue foil of 1.8m on 1.8m and even as big as this for ryujin and stuff like that when can i find it?

As far as I understand, you'll need to make larger sheets of tissue foil yourself. There's not really a way around the thicker seams between sheets, but, if you're skilled enough, you can make them nice and narrow.

I dont understand what you mean/ my question was whether i can get some foil paper bigger than 50cm width to make tissue foil since i can only find rollers that are width max 50 cm.

I don't believe foil paper comes in that size. Foil, however, might be sold in rolls up to a meter or so wide. You'd probably have to look for industrial rolls, though, which probably wouldn't be cheap.
What I said earlier was that you could lay sheets of foil side-by-side with minimal overlap and then glue the tissue paper down. There would be a thick section in the middle of the sheet, then, but that will happen with most any homemade paper.

Thanks a lot man. And what do you mean "most homemade paper" like double tissue?

you can clearly see that he made that sheet of paper from four different strips of foil, glued along the long edges, like the gentlemen do here:

you can buy paper-backed foil in widths of 26" from hygloss or alufoil.

bethnor. you are saying that he overlapped? and quick question, when do you use the glue? only before the tissue pasting or between the overlapping too (gluing the foil to the foil)
thanks

As you can see in the video linked in bethnor's message, the second foil sheet is glued to the first one on the overlapped part.

after all of it, what is the most effective way to cut it into big squares?
