$(3)$ Put these paper bits in a tub or a bucket and pour hot water in it. Let the pieces of paper remain submerged in water for a day.
$(4)$ Make a thick paste of paper next day by pounding it.
$(5)$ Spread the wet paste on the wire mesh fixed to the frame. Pat it gently to make the thickness of layer of the paste as uniform as possible.
