I bet a baren would make the initial process of bonding the paper to the board easier (not that it looked difficult) and more consistent. I find rubbing paper with my hand makes my skin sensitive and slightly irritated - maybe it's a me issue, but a baren would be a good alternative for anyone that has that issue.
Thanks for adding this suggestion. For those who don’t know what a “baren” is (I didn’t) it’s a disk-like hand tool with a flat bottom used in woodblock printing. Kind of looks like a hamburger press (which might also work!). If I had one I’d definitely use it. 😊

I think I will let it dry in place before trimming.
