If you are using wafers don't soak them. One quick dip into water and out again. Allow them go become slightly flaccid then put it all together. You are getting everything too wet which causes the slippysliddy thing. It is not the wet that is important it is heating the plate after it is all arranged and clamped up that does the gluing. Allow to remain clamped overnight for a good bond. Great clamping pressure is also not required. Newton
