Actually, dry mount tissue would be ideal - as it would allow me to later release the finished print from the support. But the paper is pretty big, and I've never had any luck in making multiple passes with a press. I always get bubbles, ripples, etc. whenever I can't press the entire print at one time.

Keith,
Would dry mount tissue work?

Thanks, Dave. That's a good idea, as I'm not getting anywhere with the 3M adhesive route. I have since found Loris' detailed instructions for lowering the sticky support onto the paper. This works pretty good! But I've found that the paper, once fixed to the support, still develops ripples when it is sized with gelatin. So, I'm thinking it needs to be pre-shrunk, which appears will introduce all kinds of distortions into the dried paper anyway. So wet is the way to go. These Masa pieces are pretty large. Not as large as wallpaper, but pretty near.
