Best paper and glue for Papercraft?
Lately I’ve been getting into papercrafting, and all I’ve tried is regular printer paper and regular glue. The glue seems fine (though a bit messy at times) but the paper is so thin that is caves in a bit too much.
Could anyone suggest any types of paper and glue that would be best for paper craft?

Use Elmer’s Paper Craft Glue Gel because it spreads evenly and dries nice and fast. Using scrapbook paper would also be better.
It depends on the type of papercraft you are making. For origami, use origami papers (they can be found at many hobby shops). For cardmaking or scrapbooking, cardstock and designer paper is best. For making albums, you may want a heavier paper than cardstock or you may use thin cardboard or chipboard.
As for the adhesives, it again depends what you want to stick together. There are so many types of glue! Here is some information about many papercraft adhesives and their uses:
