for anyone who uses paper towels as substrate, try out those blue shop towels. i recently started using them and they are so much better than regular paper towels. they are a lot thicker than regular paper towels and they dont discentegrate or tear when misted. they can be found at lowes and home depot for about 10$ per 6rolls of 55 sheets. i believe they havet them at walmart too(automotive section maybe?)

I've found that Viva brand paper towels are the best. I use a double layer (10 gallon tank = 4 sheets folded in half) and have never had issues with them tearing even after a good misting during shedding.
