I'm got a strange question. Can you use wax paper for paper mache? And what about newspaper that has a really really thin layer of wax on it. Are those useable for paper mache, or will I be forced to throw them away?
(think candy wrappers, paper left over from stickers, the newspaper with wax >.>)

I've never tried waxed paper, but I'm thinking that the adhesive wouldn't stick very well to the wax. I would rather make my projects stronger than weaker.

Yeah, that's what I was thinking would happen. But I wanted to ask just in case. But it just makes me wonder what I can do with that waxed paper then. Maybe stuff it into the hollow cavaties of the armature? XD

:shock:
Yes, you got it. No use in sticking it but screwed up, pressed into shapes, held with masking tape it can be good for internal structure. For strength, roll it into tubes, held with tape. Bundle them together and you have a very strong structure.

How convienient for me to use it that way ^____^ I have a project I want to do pretty soon that will need some strength in the middle. This'll be fun.
