Step 6Paper Your Heart Out.
Now its time to paper.
Use the Tissue Paper to line the INSIDE of the Tank. Use whole pieces, then tear some up. There is no wrong way to do this.
Pour the Glue / Water mixture first. Spread it all around. Then toss the paper on top. It will soak up the mixture. tap it down with the brush. and layer more paper on top of that. Layer at least 3 of these. use the brush to get in all the corners.
Let it dry for about 1 hour. then do the next side.

IF you are going to paint the entire inside with the glue, why not just paint the entire inside with some left over colored latex paint - you will be saving the environment from the leftover paint being dumped somewhere!! Let the kids next door help with the project to improve your status with the neighbors!! Just remember to spread it thin and there is no need to water it down......

I'd like to see this done with paint. it might make the end result look more solid and uniform without the paper texture.
