I need some tips on Fibre based paper and Seal mount press'

I have found an old Jumbo 160 Seal dry mount press and it works ;-)  
So yesterday, I made some fibre prints for the first time in a long  
time (hated the curling). I let the prints dry on a rack, and then  
pressed them between two mount boards. The first time I set the temp  
to 300F and the print was still very slightly damp (I thought that  
would help to realign the fibres) Of course it "stuck" to the mount  
board. I prised it off and re washed and dried it and then pressed it  
again, this time on 150F.

I turned off the press and let it cool (took for ever) but the  
resultant print seems pretty flat.

Any better procedures would be welcome PLUS tips on the next step:  
mounting the prints to the boards

Cheers

Alastair
