I use 60lb sulphite. At the end of the day I take all paintings off
drying rack and stack in a pile and place two heavy antique irons on
top. I bought the irons in an antique shop for $3 each and use them
as weights. Before that I put a clean sheet of paper on top and used
a chair. But that is not heavy as the irons.
That really flattens the work!
