I’ll second fiberglass. Some spacing between the screens will even out the
drying rate. I find paper curls less in summer when the indoor humidity is
higher.

You don't want metal for the screen. I have used fiberglass for over 20
years and they hold up just fine.

First the sink. Found another faucet that will fit under the rack. it
cost a massive $32, so i will take it. Thats the good news. The bad news
is that it came with 3/4 inch supply connections, and the other had only
1/2. Not the end of the world in the scheme of things. That means two
reducers to make it fit the supply lines I have. The worst of it was that
I drilled the holes 1/2 for the supply connections that wouldn't work.
Means i am going to have to widen the holes in the sink to make it fit. It
is much easier to drill the holes out the right size the first time than it
is to have to expand them, but I have done it before and can do it again.
It is just a pain and requires extra care.
Now finally got my paper moved out of the old safe into the new one.
What I didn't remember is about half of it is fiber based. What I was
planning to put off, I guess I will have to come up with a solution now. I
saw some window screens that appear to be in frames for about $10 at a
local home improvement store. By stacking them, I think it will likely
take longer for those on the bottom to dry than those on the top. That I
just don't see a way around.
Fiberglass screen or aluminum screen better? Fiberglass is probably more
likely to stretch, where metal is more likely to scratch. i know the
emulsion side goes down. it is still going to want to curl. What if
anything can I put on the top side to let it dry, but still prevent the
curl.
The general consensus of my reseach seems that the old blotter books have
real problems, and one suggested using an iron on the corners to flatten
them out.
Thanks for any help. Waiting for weeks with them in something with a
heavy weight on it seemed impractical in the past. Again thanks for the
help and 73.
