NMBROOK Posted July 27, 2014 Author Share #31 Posted July 27, 2014 Hi Andy,I had not noticed this,however I tear strips from the sheet to use and invariably the tissue wants to tear in one direction rather than the other,so you may be correct.This could explain why it doesn't want to wrinkle and goes on nice and flat.

mtaylor Posted July 27, 2014 Share #32 Posted July 27, 2014 Paper does have a grain as part of the manufacturing process. What Nigel suggested is the best way to find the grain.

Jaager Posted June 8, 2016 Share #34 Posted June 8, 2016 (edited) Two variations to consider: Because of eye tricks due to scale effect, consider using paper that is at most 1/2 the thickness of the seam at scale. Use Walnut dye rather than black - a lot of pre petrol tar was not really black and going lighter than black can modify scale effect.
