Hi Anita,
I am in Naples, where we have just begun a "Papermaking and Bookbinding Guild". Are you anywhere near here, to join us??
I have a special way to make the paper release that no one has ever mentioned-- I hold the mould at the bottom, and "whack" the top against the couching felt, and it drops right off. Another thing, your felt might be too wet, or perhaps you didn't sponge the back of the mould quite enough.
I love sending cooked and ready plant fiber to newbees to introduce them to the "glories" of using plant fibers in their paper. Our tropicals make beautiful fibers. Any help I can give you would be my pleasure.

Frances
