[@sallylarson4599]

I wish you would start from the beginning steps, I'm just learning and don't really get what Carborundum Gel is from this video.

[@jainmckay]

How long does it take to dry before you can print with it?

[@karenriley8962]

How do you clean the carborundum plate when you are done printing, or do you?

[@mhasted]

Can you print a carborundum plate with traditional oil based ink?

[@estherswhite]

What kind of stencil is Susan using in the demo? She mentions silkscreen and plastic...

[@goncalojnj1899]

Uhmm this was confusing... what was the first step with the gel for?

[@lettibu]

I really don't understand the technique, where should I read about it...what it is this gel made of

[@marcschimsky5673]

I don't get it. Lots of questions go unanswered. Are there stencils used? How are the stencils made? Can Carborundum Gel be used without a stencil? Etc, etc.

[@nellydolmaire9937]

On ne comprend pas bien la technique au début de la démonstration.
