Had a poke around and what do people think to Bank paper????  It seems light enough yet strong enough - Better than tissue on that score......

Thank you again so much.  There is a little craft centre near me with a hand operated printing press situated within - I may just pop down there this afternoon..... Hadn't thought of that avenue.

 

Will tissue paper take the glue?  Maybe that's a rhetorical question as kids (and grown ups) use it for all sorts don't they????

 

Hmmmm Nice weather - might go down the shed ;)

Thank you for the quick replies.

I agree with the poster - It is a small requirement and it is difficult. Kraft paper is the nearest approximation to what I'm looking for.  I have tried Office Supplies and Paper Merchants and the nearest thing I can find is - believe it or not - NCR Invoice/Delivery Note paper......  But if not completely consumed it embers.....  And effect I don't want.

I'm looking for the almost tissue paper like material used to seal the top of things like flashpots and roman candles.  I had some of the red stuff that crinkles and also some sheets that were black one side and white the other (I suspect the black had been printed on)

I've used extremely thin foil but it causes  a little too much confinement and therefore alters the effect.....

Any assistance is most welcome.
