Size of the sheet:
- 9"x9" (22.9x22.9 cm) for simple and intermediate models
- 14"x14" (35.6x35.6 cm) with dry fold for intermediate to complex models
- 28"x28" (71.1x71.1 cm) with dry fold even with super 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

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 holding sometimes parts of the model with clothespins. This technique requires that you know perfectly the folding sequences to fold the model as quickly as possible.
