Three years ago a foreman told me to stop fighting the paper on my blueprints

I was working a commercial job in Phoenix last week and remembered that old guy crumpling up a set of prints to get them flat on the table, and now I just wet the back of my vellum instead of wasting an hour with weights, anyone else still iron their plans out like it's 1995?

That old guy crumpling up a set of prints" - yeah, I still do that too. Folding and stacking books on top works okay but nothing beats the old wet-back trick.

Honestly, a little water on the back of the paper works like a charm every time.
