Is Onion Skin paper good for anything any these days? I just found a ream of it buried in the back of the closet. It is too thin for my printer. Did make a decent but delicate airplane. SIGnature NRA Benefactor CMP Pistol Distinguished | ||

Good for making carbon copies that don’t take up as much space in the filing cabinet as regular paper. ► 6.0/94.0 “I can’t give you brains, but I can give you a diploma.” — The Wizard of Oz | |||

I use it every day. There ain't much difference in the man I want to be and the man that I really am. | |||

For architectural work? I am curious how it is useful there. Viewing overlays, perhaps? When in doubt, mumble | |||

Yes. It is our standard medium for rough planning. Draw and then trace over the top for quick changes and alternate plans. Fwiw, we actually just call it "trace" not onion skin and I prefer white over the yellow. And we use it by the roll, not the cut sheet. There ain't much difference in the man I want to be and the man that I really am. | |||

I was going to suggest putting some in your chicken broth to add a little color, but I don't think I'm thing of the same onion skin. Must be too young to understand. Jesse Sic Semper Tyrannis | |||

I had to google WTF it is. Once I did, I recognized it. I just never heard it called that.This message has been edited.
