5. Press and starch each piece right after you've added it.

I like copy paper, the regular stuff I use for my printer. But that is so strong
that ripping it out sometimes breaks the thread. So I spray it with water to
weaken the paper fibers. After it is wet, it will rip off nicely, straight or curved!!
Thanks for the tips. I had a hard time getting all of my paper off.
