The capsule wraps, as indeed the adapter wrap, are printed on multi-purpose paper. It is much easier to work with going around the Semroc balsa cone. The are some slight differences in the geometry of the two and the paper accommodates some stretch.

Never used photo paper on this model. I have built some card models using it, but the cost seemed prohibitive.

The model receives a clear coat of Krylon Krystal Kleer. Build up several light coats adds some rigidity to the paper without causing a bleed. The white paper takes on a palevblue tint until the varnish is completely cured. Strange really but it disappears as it finishes drying.
