Japanese tissue is made with plant fibers indigenous to the region and not used in tissue made in the USA. All sheets exhibit the same characteristics of a shiny side and a dull side. Glue can be applied to either side, builder’s choice. All colors are permanent and do not bleed when wet. The tissue can be applied wet due to having excellent wet strength as well as good grain running parallel to the long side of the sheet. It is superior to domestic tissue for building model airplanes. All tissue is shipped rolled. Please note images of the tissue may appear differently on different monitors. We apply tissue using a glue stick and shrink it by misting it with water after attaching it to the structure. Finish with several light coats of Krylon Clear Satin finish aerosol paint. Detailed information is available on our Building Tips page.
