Baking paper used for Paper Mache - will it work?

Baking paper absorbs grease, and water, so I would think that it should also absorb glue, you might have to saturate it more than newspaper though due to its matte finish.I am also thinking that if you are aiming for transparency, perhaps you could try using shoji screen paper. It is not light blocking, and is strong for its thickness, so it might work.......Helpful Reply -

Never tried but I bet it would work. Maybe try tissue paper for transparency?Helpful Reply -

I do not think this will work. Baking parchment (at least in the US) is non-stick because it's permeated with silicone (or something like it). I think the glue and water will not soak in very well. I think tissue would be a better option. Good luck with whatever you try - I would love to see the results :-)Helpful Reply -

You might try a trial run with just a regular balloon and the parchment paper to see if it turns out the way you want and if the glue will stick to it. I have never used parchment for that purpose, but would love to know if it works. Keep us informed!Helpful Reply -
