Spilled a full cup of coffee on my monthly spread at the library.
The pages stuck together and my ink smeared everywhere. I used a hairdryer on low to dry it, which made the paper warp. Anyone have a better fix for a major liquid spill?

That hairdryer is the worst thing you can do. It bakes the liquid in and warps the paper fast. Next time, immediately blot with a paper towel, then put a heavy book on top of the closed planner. Leave it for a full day. The weight presses out moisture and keeps pages flat while they air dry slowly. You might still have some stain, but the book won't be a wrinkled mess.

My friend learned that the hard way, @cameron724.

A friend of mine did the exact same thing at a coffee shop with her bullet journal. She grabbed napkins and dabbed it up quick, then put the whole notebook in the freezer for a few hours. The pages separated easy when frozen and the ink didn't smear more. She said the paper dried flat with just a little wrinkling at the edges.
