Harman Direct Positive Images

First go with Harman Direct Positive Paper, rated at 1.6 ISO. 3 minutes Polymax T. This paper really curls. Anyone have any ideas to flatten this FB paper?
Also, thanks to bracan and everyone on this thread.

I use an iron or a hot press.

Hot press, or cheaper option between some heavy books for a week.

I guess the kindle won't do it, I'll try the stack of photography books. Thanks all.

Squeegee front and back sides, then dry both surfaces with a hair dryer. The insides will still be wet. Then tape the prints face up to a sheet of glass using artists or drafting tape, about 3-4mm on all four edges. Leave in warm, dry place until dry.

Thanks, Joe. Thanks for the tips, much appreciated.

At a loss for anything else to do on a gloomy, cold day I dragged out my coffee-can pinhole camera and put in a Harmon Direct sheet that I had preflashed last year and then forgot. This is a 7 minute exposure at f256, a little brightening adding after scanning. It's not a great image, but considering the pinhole camera hadn't seen action since Jan. 1997 and never with paper, this is a OK start.
