about every third page or so.

One of the only "true" ways. Otherwise, you wind up with some that
still have gum, stuck to said newspaper / book and what do you do then
with the book? Cut it up?

I need some new blotter paper. I took one of those drying books and
pulled the blotter paper out. The shuny pages didn't do much for my
stamps except leave a shiny coating on some of them. Yuck.

An excellent method, developed and used over many decades!

Philately often relies on the patience of the collector, to obtain
the best results - in the end!

There are also small gaps around the edge of the tumbling drum that
stamps may slip through, to be lost forever in the drainage system!

Ooops! There goes a penny black! :^)

I have heard of people using a small net bag that ties at the top. Be sure
that there is not a metal closure. My drier does not have a low heat setting
so I have not tried it. Forty some years ago there was an advertisement for
a stamp washing/drying machine that looked like one of the small portable
washers. art

That's why I use back of stamp to oven bags,
not one damaged or adhered in the last 15,000
