Esaki Japanese tissue is available in 4 permanent colors. Each sheet of tissue measures approximately 17.5″ x
23.5″.
Japanese tissue is made with plant fibers indigenous to the region and not used in tissue made in the USA. All
sheets exhibit the same characteristic of a shiny side and a dull side. Glue can be applied to either side,
builder’s choice. All colors are permanent and do not bleed when wet. The tissue can be applied wet due to
having excellent wet strength as well as good grain running parallel to the long side of the sheet. It is
superior to domestic tissue for building model airplanes. All tissue is shipped rolled. Please note images of
the tissue may appear differently on different monitors. We apply tissue using glue stic,
and shrink by misting with water after attaching to the structure. Finish with several light coats
of Krylon Clear Satin finish aerosol paint. Detailed information is available at our Building Tips page.
