    You could just use masking tape but I guess it may do something to the top layer of paper once it's been soaked. If it holds it.

    And as to the wetting, just fill a bowl or your sink with an inch of water or whatever, drop the paper on and push it under. Leave it long enough to soak up some water. Lift it back out, let the excess drain off and then smooth it out on a board. Tape it down and leave to dry.

    I will have to try this Ramah. What do you suggest using for a board?
