Wafer Paper F.A.Q

Wafer Paper F.A.Q

Answering your questions about wafer paper.
How to choose wafer paper and what is wafer paper grade?
  • O-grade (0.22 mm) – very thin and light. I use this type for multi-petal flowers and if I want to make something quick.
  • AD-grade (Premium or 0.27-0.35 mm) – the most common type of paper to make flowers, foliage, and decorations. Takes on texture beautifully and is very versatile.
  • DD-grade (double-thickness or 0.6mm) – smooth on both sides and relatively thick. Great for printing designs or painting. I wouldn’t recommend this type of wafer paper for making flowers.

How to use wafer paper in high humidity?

  • Temperature won’t affect your wafer paper
  • Wafer Paper is more stable than sugar paste
  • Know your humidity
  • Adjust my AC Tonic Recipe
