Its therapeutic watching this

[@serenarcher]

Thank you for this. I use gel plates.all the time but was looking for a larger one. This is ideal, I can now make one to fit my 305mm by 210mm sheets. Thank you again. This is soooooo needed as they are quite expensive for the extra large ones. Keep smiling 😊🌻

[@mygreencauldron7916]

You're so welcome. I use the gelli plate a lot too. Being able to make them in the size and shape I want is so useful and fun. 😁

[@pyromancyglassart8975]

U can always lightly run a paper towel over the top of your finish product before it hardens to get rid of the bubbles

[@teresaluna1936]

Thanks for sharing! I will be making a small one tomorrow, and give it a try.

[@sanandoelalma.3027]

I can't stop laughing every time you said gelatin instead of glycerin, that happens a lot to me... hahaha... thanks for the video... good luck

[@janeb1400]

Way back when I started teaching (when ink gestetners were the only copying choice available) we used to make work stencils for a gelly plate and print them page by page into their books.

[@laurastaley7627]

Thanks for the demo!

[@RainDropps]

I will see how my plate comes out tomorrow morning. I’m so excited!

[@sharondjakubus1052]

oh wow this is so awesome thank you for sharing

[@mygreencauldron7916]

Thanks! And you're welcome! 😁

[@byzanicon]

Thank you for this tutorial!

[@mygreencauldron7916]

You're welcome!! ☺️

I made one these gellie plates it was so much fun to make and use

[@mygreencauldron7916]

They are fun! One of my favorites!

[@norahfinnen9063]

Thank you for posting this. I will make one as soon as I can get some glycerine

[@mygreencauldron7916]

Just be aware that at one point I switch the words gelatin and glycerin.

[@ErinneKennedy]

Glycerine can be found with the cake making supplies in walmart

[@trilbywye3944]

Why didnt you leave it in the jug to mix?

[@SeverinoBiil]

Loved ur explanation. It was what i needed. Now let try to repeat. Tell me how durable is this plate and how can we protect it.?

[@mygreencauldron7916]

It's really quite durable. I used the plates frequently (almost everyday)over the summer without issue. I stored them on small cookie sheets with the pans they were made in over them. Over the winter (I didn't really use them) one did get a little dry around the edges. I think it was because of lack of use and a dry winter house.

[@ErinneKennedy]

take a bit of copy paper/ typing paper and run it gently on the surface to move the bubbles to the edge.

[@mygreencauldron7916]

Great idea!

[@traceyhilder3426]

Great video how do you store them

[@mygreencauldron7916]

I bought a baking sheet that was a bit bigger than the plate and store/left it on there. When I'm not using it I cover it with parchment paper. It can dry out over time but I found if you use it often it's less likely to happen

[@christinenaylor4912]

I could hardly hear what you were saying, even with my sound turned up....could you give detailed instructions as well as the ingredients please, that would help...thanks

[@RainDropps]

I did make two gel plates. I used Knox gelatin but they have an odor from the knox. Any recommendations? By they way these plate work really well. Thank you for sharing.

[@mygreencauldron7916]

I've never noticed a smell really. Once they are made I'm not sure how you would remove it. Maybe next time you make them add a drop or 2 of essential oil....

[@RainDropps]

@@mygreencauldron7916 I thought about that not sure how the e-oil will react? But experimenting is part of the game :) Ty

[@mygreencauldron7916]

I think with the small amount it should be ok. Yes! This is a big experiment. One of the things I love about it

[@susanmarcoux7005]

Okay, if no one else is telling you...it's the glycerin that you're starting with and then adding the gelatin to it. You keep saying 🙄 you're pouring the gelatin into the pan then adding the gelatin, lol. I think we get it though so thanks 😊

[@mygreencauldron7916]

Oy! Isn't that the way! Lol! Sorry for the switch around. Luckily it's still understandable. Thank you. 😊

[@user-sy5ud1yw9l]

Thank you. 7 packets of gelatin = ? grams. 1 1/2 cups hot water = ? gram

[@mygreencauldron7916]

Hi! I buy the gelatin in a box of 4 packets. The net wt of the box is 28 grams. 1/2 cup of hot water is 118 grams. So a little mathing, 7 grams each packet, 354 grams of water. 😁.

[@user-sy5ud1yw9l]

@@mygreencauldron7916 Thank you for your answer. In Russia, other products.

[@Lazara2023]

The gelli plates are vegan?

[@mygreencauldron7916]

No, these are made with Knox gelatin which is not vegan.

[@juliepederson8468]

No- gelatin isn’t vegan. The vegan version is made with Agar agar. I have yet to make an Agar plate- and I am vegan. Thru some research- the measurements are the same using Agar agar.

[@mygreencauldron7916]

I had to look into it too. It would be fun to check out. ☺️

[@viviandibrell849]

Did you mean glycerin? Not gelatin…

[@judychurchill294]

Did you mean glycerin when you actually said gelatine?

[@mygreencauldron7916]

Oh my yes! I've been meaning to edit that. Thank you for the much needed reminder!

[@chrishodder5645]

Hi you keep saying gelatine instead of glycerine. Just letting you know. Cheers C

[@mygreencauldron7916]

Thank you.

[@SJ-dl6uc]

it's funny, two yrs later, it's cheaper to get the plate commercially than to make it. rn, gelatin is ~$15, glycerin is ~$14 and a baking sheet is about $8. an 8 x 10 gelli plate is $25 on Amazon rt. makes me so sad.

[@RainDropps]

It is God that created the heavens and the earth :) give thanks to Him. 🙌
