Best paper and glue

[racingpaper]

Hi

I've asked this before (a few months ago) which kind of paper the best is for paper models. I recently bought 120 gram (or something) paper. But it isn't very ideal, so i think i'm gonna buy 130 gram paper which is a little bit glossy. And i'm looking for some good glue to use. I'm currently using some Dutch glue (i'm dutch btw, so my English is pretty bad) but it makes a mess.

Cheers

i cant settle on some good glue either i use simple wood glue but it cant hold transparencies as for paper i ammaking the murcielago using regular 120 g paper and its turning out to be pretty sturdy even for its scale (1/10) i think that mostly 125-160 g paper is used for the body anr 200 g for a strong chassis

hope this helps

I actually use 180 gsm photo paper, and chrome foil later bonded to 120 gsm paper for the chrome or metal finish parts. It prints a dream and looks awesome for wheels etc.
Glue??? Good old superglue. Sticks instantly and no mess if you're carefull.

Thanks guys!

Do I get any with lines when folding 140gsm mat paper? I have an inkjet printer

i do get lines when I print on glossy sheets with my inkjet printer.

I am getting a new printer soon, I just hope that won't have this problem.

hi im also dutch and the glue that i use is scotch gel, wich i get from my uncle's work.
i dont know where you can buy it but i presume you can buy it in the general stores (bruna marskramer or makro wich will have it for sure)

for the stripes on glossy paper, if you printed it, just let it dry for 1 day, and the stripes wil get less with about 60%
