Step 9: Rubbing off the paper off

Now that you did a great job rubbing the print onto the wax board, it's time to take the paper off. But ah! You can't just peel the paper off, you silly bug. That paper is STUCK big time on the board.

 

What are we gonna do?!

 

Dip a sponge into a can of water and start rubbing the paper off. The paper will get all soggy and precipitate off. I don't know what the real word is for that term. But the paper gets all soggy. And just globs off. Yeah. Glob. That's the technical term.

 

In this photo you can see the photo appearing! Magical! The toner adhered to the wax! Keep on rubbing that paper off soldier!
