[2 vehicles] testing of material - rice paper

Rice paper is stretchy when wet and has a glue-ish type feature to it so it will be easy to mould into a shape for our 'Modified Lantern' and it is quite light as well. This means that instead of having extra weight from the framing, we could easily use rice paper to shape it into the form we want.

'trying' to handle with care

The only bad thing about this is that it must be handled with care and after drying, it will be come very brittle and easy to break.

FIRE PROOF?

when becoming too close to the heat, the rice paper bubbles up and becoming an even more brittle source of material. But the good thing is it does not easily catch on fire.
