Dawns on me after I wrote this, that this is probably similar to hair
removal by sugaring? Not being familiar with the process...I am not
sure, but seems there might be some similarities?
I know that using the TP, doesn't seem to remove the hair, as the
hair is stronger than the 1-ply.
Also, I have noticed that there I have had less smearing while being
wrapped when using this method...although I don't use it all the
time. I am too impatient...I can't hardly stand waiting for the
paste to stain my skin! :)

: After L/S-ing the paste a few times (with drying time in between),
I
: took squares of 1-ply toilet paper (separate 2-ply into 1-ply), and
: one at a time I laid the square over the design. The stickiness of
: the L/S helped the TP adhere well, then I dabbed more L/S over the
TP
: until it was translucent. I repeated this process of L/S:TP:L/S
til
: the design was covered. I let that dry a bit, then I was able to
put
: more TP over the design (to keep him from sticking to everything)
and
: just tape the edges down. You can probably forgo that last layer
of
: TP and just papertape over the L/S'ed TP, but TP is cheaper than
: papertape.
: The L/S'ed TP dries into a somewhat brittle paper, but removal is
: easier. Just peel the squares off, and usually all the paste comes
: right off with it. I haven't tried steaming it off, but I bet that
: would be much easier removal also...less traumatic on the skin.
