Even drying makes for a nice tight stretch. Let it dry naturally. Using a heater or blow drier can cause ripples in your paper. It should thump like a drum when dry.https://theforesterartist.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/01/steam-donkey14.jpgSteam-Donkey14Use a paper towel to mop up excess water. Don't push down or you'll damage the paper. A feather light touch is required.https://theforesterartist.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/01/steam-donkey13.jpgSteam-Donkey13Staple it to the boards.
