GAMPI Tissue covering material. 12 grams per square meter; our lightest tissue. The tissue has a grain running in one direction; Gampi has one side slightly shiny, the other matt. Wet strength is less than the other Japanese tissues; dry strength is stronger than Esaki. Suitable for smaller planes given its weight and suitable for larger planes given its strength. It accepts pastel chalk for those interested in an alternative to paints. Shrinkage can be controlled. Water shrinks the tissue in one application, rubbing alcohol is gentler and may take several cycles of application and drying. Depending on how you prep and apply it will determine how much it shrinks. Given its low wet strength, it can be difficult to work with on compound curves compared to Esaki. Our team testing its use found it very suitable for peanuts and for covering tail surfaces on larger models where you want to avoid warpage. Good puncture resistance. Can be adhered with a glue stick, water-based glue, or dope. Gampi Test Results
