The Origami Forum

[Originally- MC faqs 1.0]
What is MC? MC, or methylcellulose, is a cellulose that has been chemically altered to make it water-soluble. Commonly used for shaping, treating single tissue, and double tissue. It is also known as Wallpaper Paste [better description coming soon.]
This is a topic made so people can have access to the threads with MC without having to browse. Keep in mind that this will be updated every so often, and this is done when I didn't have enough time to look through the whole thing.

Excellent resource! Thanks.

You're welcome! I need to finish this up soon, maybe tomorrow. Maybe I should make another Faqs for the whole paper section.......Or anything really just so one subforum is organized and is easy to go check out stuff.

The problem is that it doesn't serve those who wish to practice more advanced, non-Japanese-based origami. The thickness and brittleness of the paper make it unusable even as a practice sheet. Someone did the math, and it seems like it's one of the most costly per-sheet choices out there.
