In the ‘Hollander' eucalyptus, pine or cotton fibres can be added to the paste to improve the texture of the paper. Glue made from resin is also added which prevents the drying sheets of paper from becoming absorbent like blotting paper. At last the paste which is now ready to use is decanted in a copper vat. The paste is white, quite runny and is kept even by a mixing process. Later flower petals, fern leaves grasses and lots of other carefully selected natural products will be added. Pressed against the edge of the vat after having mixed the paste with the help of a ‘redable' (a wooden instrument), the mill worker plunges a mould in the shape of a sheet of paper into the liquid. The mould is made up of 2 parts: the wooden rectangular ‘sub frame', over which a narrow screen made of wires is stretched, supported by wooden sticks, and the ‘cover', a wooden frame which fits on the ‘sub frame'. The edges of the ‘cover' hold the liquid paste and in so doing determine the thickness and shape of the sheet of paper. On the wire mesh of the ‘sub frame' the paper worker stitches the watermark of the mill and later a paste cutter (a brass string) is used to halve the sheet more easily after it has dried.
