MOULDS AND DECKLES
 |
I am pleased to offer handcrafted Paperwright moulds and deckles!
Handcrafted Paperwright moulds are rabbet joined, routed and finely sanded for rounded edges,
triple coated with urethane, and screened with heat shrinking polypropylene
mesh. Stainless steel staples and screws and epoxy secure the mesh and
corners to make a durable and dependable mould. Flush deckles simply sit on top of the mould. Form fitting deckles are routed to slip securely onto the mould
and to form a small inner lip that presses onto the screen to prevent pulp leakage.
Price shown includes both the mould and deckle.

Papermakers often complain that bubbles form while couching papers. Screening for moulds below is braced with a plastic eggcrate support to prevent bubbles. Double screening eliminates water marking. Permanent rib bracing makes these moulds a durable addition to your studio.

Drying Systems:
Drying papers for that smooth, professional look has never been easier.
The idea is to sandwich papers between 4 sheets of cotton linters. Below
and above the cotton is a layer of triple-wall corrugated cardboard. You can
build a stack that begins with a plywood support board, a triple-wall
corrugated board, 2 sheets of cotton, the papers to be dried, 2 sheets of
cotton on top, another corrugated board, followed by another layer of cotton
and papers, etc. To finish your stack, place another plywood support board
on top. Two cargo web clamps are tightened around the stack to squeeze the
layers together. Place a fan at one end to draw air through the corrugated
boards. Papers usually dry within 48 hours.
| Triple Wall Corrugated Card Board: | 27" x 36", per board | $8.25
|
| | 27" x 18", per 2 boards | $8.50
|
| 3/4" Plywood support board, 27" x 36", sanded & urethaned, each | $49.95
|
| 3/4" Plywood support board, 27" x 18", sanded & urethaned, each | $29.95
|
