How to use a plastic deckle

First, turn the hardwood pour mold upside down with straps facing up.  Lay plastic deckle on the hardwood pour mold, then place papermaking screen and then support grid over the deckle secure straps.  Place hardwood pour mold in water and pour pulp into it, wiggle your fingers in the slurry and pull it out of the water.  

After water drains, unstrap the deckles and screen and support grid.  Gently lift the plastic deckle off.  Transfer paper, screen and support grid to your work surface.  Slide out support grid and place gray cover screen over new shapes and sponge out water.  Use couch sheets to remove handmade paper from screen.  Dry using your favorite method.
