I have the felts very wet and they attach to the wet pulp on the screen and keep it there. All the water is removed when the post of paper is pressed under an hydraulic pressing table. I've never done the sponging technique as I learned this way to do paper. I think the sponging is for when you only do one sheet at a time. If you do a post worth - I normally do 50 or so - you press the water out of all of them at once instead of once at a time with a sponge.
Hi on most of the videos you need to sponge the paper first before releasing it from the mould, but you do not need to why.
