Advice on wet pressing?
I've been letting my paper completely air dry so far, but I've been thinking about trying wet pressing beforehand (I believe this flattens the paper a bit more to make it easier to write on).
My question is - when making the stack (i.e. cloth/paper/cloth/paper, etc.), does the paper not stick to the cloth above it while being pressed?
Also, *will* wet pressing my paper make it easier to write on in the first place? Right now it works just fine, but a little bit "spongy," especially when stacked on top of other paper (not the best, considering I'd like to make homemade notebooks).
Thanks in advance! :D
