Tor, After processing you need to allow the
paper with the image to dry thoroughly, of course. Then coat the back of
the paper with 5% gelatine, The dry gum image is not so
delicate. Place the print on the PLEXIGLASS. Lay an interleaving sheet of
paper on the print. Then a sheet of thick cardboard. Apply the weight
(maybe a heavy book or a couple of house bricks or a five litre
bottle of liquid or whatever) and leave until dry. A screw down
book press would be the ideal thing to use but they are rare, nowadays. Anyway,
you dont really need one.
Look forward
to hearing about your trial.
Till
later.

''Requiring weights to keep the paper down does not sound like a good
idea
to me. First of all, at least the gum print surface is very delicate
and
easily damaged and I would expect weights, at least on heavier papers,
to leave marks?
