There are some pretty amazing techniques on this forum, but i have never heard mention of this. and its a pretty basic fact that needs to be addressed if you are starting out in this hobby.
Many years ago read a book containing several simple models made from ordinary white cartridge paper, a whole page was dedicated to the fact that most paper and card has a grain running through it like wood.
Paper that is rolled against this grain often ends up horribly creased so when rolling skins or tubes for example; always work with the grain whenever possible.
also long straight folds work much better, so wherever possible align leading edges and so forth with the grain lengthways to avoid the crinkly fibrous leading edge syndrome that spoils otherwise fine models.
paper will always take a curve easier along the grain so its easy to identify which way it lies.
i know most of you guys have probably worked this one out for yourselves but for someone new to the hobby its a useful tip off.
