Alternatively brush Howrex Release Paste over fanned edges. When dry, take a sheet from the middle of the stack and hold it under a running taps. Water should not hold on treated surface
- After collating jog well, and stack sheets on bench with a thick strawboard on top, and apply light hand pressure, or stack in a Howapress.
