/po/ care to explain something to me please? More like an advice.For some time now [an hour *gasp*] I've been trying to make about 4 different REALLY easy papercrafts. They were really really really easy now, it's not a matter of confusion that I kinda gave up on them all.The glue won't fucking help. It all goes messed up, twisted, ugly, folded bad etc.In normal situations I'd blame my undernail disease that makes my fingers clumsy and stuff like that, but I've been really trying hard to get it right as much as I can [including whatever tools and humans I can get]. Same result, literally same.So how the hell are you supposed to do it so it'll turn out right? Please don't tell me it's practice..
if you use a water-based glue(read white glue) on thin paper(read printer paper)it will wet, twist and wave.use cardstock or non-water glue.Practice is not important; practice is fundamental!
I'm using stick glue, that cheap yellow thing.. or at least, i did until it didn't work on the first try, then reverted to tape. paper is.. printer paper, which i guess is thin, but the thick ones are.. well.. y'know. big.
>>89250Are you thinking bristol board? Cardstock comes in many sizes.
>>89252cardstock? wait, i'll google that.for all my life i've only known about bristol and printer papers. who knew there were more? *gasp*
eh, can't find a clue of it in my country. israel sucks.any other way around?
>>89224You can use white glue, just make sure you use a toothpick or something like that to apply it on the paper, it has to be a thin layer of glue.
I have my experience with white glue.. no matter how little I put, it always becomes a messy wet shit.
>>89256Yes, using PVA sparingly works fine.
>>89262Try using a toothpick.
hope this helps =D
for smaller papercrafts, I find printer paper and gel based glue works great. Doesn't water down the paper and keeps a very sturdy hold
