That's the trick -- it does have to be dry to the touch.

I covered the countertop with sheets of newspaper. The newspaper stuck a
little. I was able to remove the paper in front but the back would tear
when I pulled on it. I had little room in which to work. Quite a lot of
paper remained under the laminate when I finished. If I was ever to try
paper again I think I would try something stronger and thicker then
newspaper. Perhaps strips cut from a cardboard box. I definitely would not
use newspaper again. Dowels work well because there is only a small surface
to stick and the dowel is strong when pulled.
