Blotting and drying a sheet of paper

Place a lightweight piece of plastic screening on top of the newly formed sheet of paper and continue blotting out excess moisture. Remove the screen and put a piece of couching felt on top of the sheet of paper (a handi-wipe type, reuseable dish cloth will work just fine) and add a small section of newspaper on top of that to continue blotting. When you have gotten as much moisture out of paper as you can get, remove the blotting papers. At this point you can simply set the paper aside to dry in the air, or, you can gently peel the newly formed sheet from the handiwipes and iron it dry. On to clean-up, or, fancy and more complicated processes.
