David,

If you can't find the "right" side of the paper when it's dry, draw a
pencil line on one side of a small sheet, soak and dry, and see what
happens: after wetting the smooth and rough sides are usually quite
apparant. You can backtrack from there to figure out the good side of
the dry sheet. BTW, some papers can be printed on either side with
different but equally interesting visual effect.

Papers don't respond to the same chemical mixes in the same way.
Ingredients have different effects with different papers. Sometimes you
need to handle one paper differently from another: work at higher or
lower humidity for example. It's a matter of trial and error and I'm not
familiar with "Arches HOT".
