Recently I have discovered all the wonderful uses of parchment paper when gluing, building wood and plastic models as well as painting. Very little stick to it – even find it I use a toothpick to spread glue and lay it down – I can pick it up the next day with no concern about it sticking. Just thought I would share my uses for it |

Yes, I have had great success with it over the years. I am using some right now to cover a piece of plywood upon which I put my new trees to spray them with Woodland Scenics Scenic Cement. Tom |

Make sure the parchment paper isn't on a nice surface. I laid out a sheet of parchment paper directly on a table when I was basing my figs with superglue on washers. The figs didn't stick to the paper but when I picked the paper up, I had a nice array of dots in the table finish. Nothing I've tried (except for stripping) has removed the dots. My wife was not happy. |

Would plain old wax paper do as well? I used it years ago gluing balsa wood together. Plus I think it is cheaper. I use parchment paper for baking. |

I've used waxed paper for affixing figures to bases and
other adhesive-involved tasks. For painting chores, I
found freezer paper (the shiny side) to be excellent. Never a problem with either. |

Minwax Polyshades will soak right through it, too. A piece of aluminum foil, as your base layer, will prevent seep-through. Be aware that chemicals will likely stick to aluminum foil… A cheap vinyl table cloth makes an excellent base layer. Shop your local party supply store, and put down two layers, to be safe. They are really inexpensive. Cheers! |

I use parchment paper (cut to size) for my wet paint pallet. It also makes for great tracing paper, too. |

I use parchment paper to make big boogers from slimy monsters. Get a bit of PP. "Draw" stripes of clear (or translucent) drying glue. Fabric glue is best. Let the glue dry. Peel up the boogers and affix them to the appropriate mucous-extruding beast. Nurgle is better with booger added.

The Ice Monster is COOL ! (no pun intended !) |

You can make similar icicles and such, by applying Hot Glue to PP. Once it hardens, peel it right off. Color/stain/paint, as needed. I've made spider webs like this, for my D&D games. Place a large, plastic spider on top of it, and, Voila'!
Cheers! |
