Stan,

They Hydrocote that I'm using (and Paul) is nasty stuff when it 
comes to drying. It dries very fast, and it will stick to almost 
anything. I've lost several test prints, due to leaving them alone, 
lying flat on wood, or something else. I come back ten minutes 
later, and they are STUCK solid to whatever they were lying on. 

I would suggest maybe a quart can of paint, and then lay the print 
on its back, with the quart of paint dead center of the Letter size 
print. Just so that no coating is touching any part of what its 
resting on.

The coating process is most definitely a double edged sword.
