Did you place the tape a little away from the edges so it’s not sticky when you remove the paper after cutting?

[@LoganGraphic]

Correct. You want the tape in the center of the molding to prevent any tape from showing after you cut off the excess backing.

how do you get the paper to lay flat after taking it off a role?

[@LoganGraphic]

Technique 1: Unroll the entire roll and re-roll it in the opposite direction it was previously rolled. Let it sit for at least 20 minutes before unrolling it again.
Technique 2: Cut the paper to the correct size that is needed and roll it in the opposite direction it was previously rolled in. Let it sit for at least 20 minutes before unrolling it again.
Technique 3: Cut the paper to the size that is needed, leaving a half inch to an inch extra on all sides, and tape along the edges so the paper lies completely flat. Complete artwork while edges are taped.

Dust cover paper, what kind of paper is it?

[@LoganGraphic]

We use 50 lb kraft paper. However, depending on your project you may want to go to your Local fine art/craft store and see what they use for archival backing.
