KMS Woodworks on Oct 25, 2012a basic flower press works well...acid free rag paper on either side with corrugated cardboard. instead of a press a good stack of books ...the rag paper will absorb minor bits of moisture and "cushion" some of the more delicate aspects. This is how we prepared herbarium specimens when I was working on my masters in botany classesHelpful Reply
