Size of the sheet: 28"x28" (71.1x71.1 cm) with dry fold even with complex models   Dry-folding for tesselations, modulars and models without too much layers or without too much shaping.    Wet-folding for models which need a lot of shape For more details, read Gilad Aharoni's article   1) Technic #1 (easiest): Fold (dry) the model as far as possible. When the folds become too difficult, wet the flaps and creases with a damp sponge or water spray. 2) Technic #2: Moisten the entire sheet with a damp sponge or a water spray. Fold your model quickly before it dries. Dry with a hair dryer or outdoors sometimes holding parts of the model with clothespins. This technique requires that you know perfectly the folding sequences to fold the model as quickly as possible.
