For a smoother finish, slap your paper up on a piece of glass such a window or sliding glass door. You can also leave it stuck to one 'felt' and clothes-pin it up (by the fabric, so the paper isn't marred), or you can remove the sheet from both "felts" and let it dry, this will give you a rougher sheet.

Depending where you live, time to dry will vary. Give it overnight and check.
