I am doing a re-print and I want to use the unusable dry fiber print to size up 
with on the easel so it matches what I made yesterday.  It seems that the print 
shrank 2mm in each direction making precise (architectural image) alignment 
impossible.  Is that normal?  I knew there was some shrinkage but never noticed 
this much.  It's a 16x20 print.

I have a cork backed ruler and the cork is separating from the ruler.  Would 
contact cement be a good choice to re-adhere the portion coming off?  It's a 
15" 
ruler so it's has some flex to it.

Thanks

Eric
