I wasn't sure where to post this, but in the article about crayons this week it mentions paper towels. After trying this method several years ago in a class, Bounty brand paper towels are the ONLY one tough enough not to shred under this technique. The other brands just fall apart and make a big mess for you.
Nice thing is, Bounty also makes their product in usable sized napkin style if you prefer. I just wanted to alert all who want to try this method. The method is very nice, but you need very good and sturdy paper towels.
