I can’t take credit for this wonderful money-saving idea.  Jorge Royan was discussing sketchbooks versus watercolor pads, and a few of us liked pads better than sketchbooks for many reasons.  They are more expensive, but Jorge makes his own!

He buys good 300lb watercolor paper, and I will do that as I get better, but for now I used the inexpensive Strathmore pads I bought on sale at Michael’s.  All the corners were clamped firmly, and these were the areas where later I can get a letter opener in to peel a page off the pad.  Aileen’s White Tacky Glue was spread around the edge.

I also did the edges on the Fluid pads because they just glue two edges,
so sometimes the middle lifts and puddles.  Problems solved, and cheap!

wonderful sketches, below, visit Parkablogs when they interviewed him!
