Take a plastic tub which has an air tight lid and which will take a sheet of model lying down. Put a generous layer of rice in the bottom. Then put a sheet of baking parchment the same size as you model sheet. Then rest your model sheet on the baking parchment and seal the lid.

The rice will absorb all the moisture out of everything in the tub (including your model sheet. The baking parchment will stop the rice from sticking to the model sheet. It takes time though.

To speed up the process place the tub in a warm place like an airing cupboard.

This might save your wet "blocks" of models too.

From experience of something that happened to me, I would say try not to dwell on things that have been lost and can not be replaced (since you can not alter that fact). Instead concentrate on looking forward to enjoying what you are are going to be making.

I would never have thought of that.

I use to do a lot of photography with fiber based paper. If I used your method, and used an old print dryer, could I smooth out the wrinkles?


Hmmm?
