Was this the penultimate phase preventing passage to the Long & Noble Crusade 3.0? My burgeoning tea-box of Canada on-paper remains un-soaked but US, UK and worldwide hit the soaking dish this week. I premiered a second-hand stamp-drying book - the stamps do indeed dry, albeit for at least the 24 hours mentioned in the instructions and come out flat, not requiring further flattening. They've now been sorted into the zip-loc bags for Europe, Africa, Asia, Middle East/North Africa, French Colonies, etc.
Just after that, an envelope of mainly recent UK landed in our mailbox, thanks to a neighbour. Tracing the transition from Queen Elizabeth II's reign to that of King Charles III , they provide a phascinating philatelic phinale to the soaking step. (Most are self-adhesive, many are barcoded, therefore remaining un-soaked, just clipped.
Now, there's nothing preventing the start of the crusade! Let the further sorting and albumizing begin!
