Title: Parchment paper or Baking paper
Post by: Ty Marcucci on July 07, 2013, 02:17:41 PM

I use this stuff when I don't want anything to stick to it. You can see through it, but not as well as wax paper.

I just use waxed paper.  It works great, and unless you let the CA just drool on it, things don't stick.

Try Glad Press-n-seal.  CA doesn't stick to it.  Celluloid doesn't stick to it.  Epoxy doesn't stick to it.  Wood glue and PVA doesn't stick to it. 

The film is slightly adhesive and sticks to paper, but will peel off the paper easily too. (I haven't tried after several months though)

If you use press&seal on your plans and leave it for several months, do not, I say do not try to remove it.  It becomes part of the plans.  I use it for masking details on my planes thou.

I recently build a peanut scale tiger moth using CA, and used baking paper for that, once the pins were removed the whole airframe (only 10" long just slid off the plan.

Here in Australia we have stuff called Glad Bake, it's not cheap but it does work!

Ty,
I use parchment paper all the time. Nothing sticks to it.

You can get it in all super markets. It will be in the section with wax paper. This was an Al Rabe tip.
