Best question so far, and one I should have foreseen. This is not a means of creating a metal surface, but a way to make the paper behave more like metal. It is in effect, a metal foil sandwich with paper or card on one side and tissue on the other so you can build with it like paper but manipulate it to hold a shape, the same as metal. The paper now has a backing, and will not be affected by moisture or the application of varnish or paint. And white glue is all you need to hold it together.Hope that makes sense, but you would probably need to make a sheet of it to see for yourself. Not everyone wants to make paper models that will outlive their grandchildren, but for those who do, this will work. My early ones are twenty five years old and look like the day I built them.
