Step 6Press out the moisture.
It's best to have a second deckle for this step but it can be done using a piece of felt.
Using a second deckle, place it on top of the mixture, so that both deckles are flat against one another.
*If you use a piece of felt, place the felt ontop of the mixture as well, and follow the next steps.
Press your sponge down with gentle force. You will hear the water draining from the mixture as you apply force. Make sure you spot-press the sponge and don't drag it across the mesh. Dragging the sponge will pull the mixture through the mesh!
When you no longer hear the water draining from the mixture it's ready to start drying.
