In Response To: Strip: Printing decal on tracing paper *PIC* (Eric Anderson)

: I am experimenting with paper materials using a decoupage approach
: to put lettering on my kayak. I used Academie brand tracing
: paper (that I had available) and applied it over wet epoxy and
: then epoxied 4 oz glass over that. I don't know how the tracing
: paper compares to onion paper, but as you can see, it does not
: disappear. Is onion skin paper more transparent? Does anyone
: have a specific material that they have found disappears behind
: epoxy, can be printed on with a laser printer and is compatible
: with glass/epoxy. Is there any specific brand or place where I
: can get onion skin paper or other recommended material.

: By the way... I know I misspelled Petrel. I already printed it when
: I discovered that little mess up.

I just used tissue paper. Tape in on to a sheet of normal paper and it will feed through the printer without jamming.
