Hi everyone and Happy Thanksgiving,

Has anyone used the Papyros fiber paper. Pros/Cons?? I use Bullseye thinfire all the time, and buy it in the 200 20.5 x20.5 sheet pack. I like the idea of the Papyros as it comes in a studio roll or a craft roll - within my budget. I just can't buy the Bullseye roll even though it would probably last me for years. I wish it came in smaller rolls.

Any comments are appreciated. Thanks.

It does. I have bought one in the local Bullseye store. Get on the phone to Bullseye.

tried Papros.....don't like it............too much texture

I'm not sure what you mean by smaller rolls. Bullseye thinfire comes in a small roll that is 10 feet by 41 inches. The small Papyros "studio roll" is 33 feet by 41 inches.

Several years ago I bought a few rolls of "thin fire" like paper from a company that someone here on the board recommended and had posted the URL for.
I can no longer find their link on my computer or by doing a WGBB search. If anyone knows of this company and their site, could you please post the link.

This paper was not the greatest for firing at a full fuse but it worked well for my low and slow process.

Doug, it may have been this:

I used it for a while and had some strange problems. Just trashed 50 sheets a couple of weeks ago....

Thats the one. Thanks for the link Lynn

Thanks everyone - I really didn't check the archives. I didn't even think about them. I also didn't realize that the Bullseye came in the 10' x 41" roll either. I had only seen it in the big roll that costs 900+ which, of course, I can't/won't purchase at one time. I appreciate your not taking me to task for my oversight.

I recently bought a few sheets of Papyros from Delphi Glass http://www.delphiglass.com/fusing-suppl ... aper-sheet

I prefer to use kiln wash, but will occasionally use thin fire. I was drawn to the claim that this paper can be reused, but after firing something at full-fuse temperature, it pretty much fell apart where I touched it. Also, I agree that it leaves too much texture.

I'd suggest if anyone wants to give it a try, to buy a sheet first. There are some good reviews of this out there (beyond the one on Delphi), so apparently other folks have different experiences. I'm glad I didn't invest more money into this for my personal use.
