How to use a plastic deckle

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.

the deckles and screen and support grid. Gently lift
the plastic deckle off. Transfer paper, screen and
