4. Place the special lining paper on top of it. Place the work so that it is in contact with the glued surface.

5. Glue it with a heat iron, stretching it from the center outward.

6. Once it dries well, turn it over. At this time, the calligraphy pad and special backing paper will adhere, so be careful when removing them to avoid creating creases in your work.
