    Ive watched quite a few videos about making these. Yours is the best... easy to follow and you give measurements that can easily be adjusted as well as ingredients that can be brought in most countries. Example is some videos will just say to buy the sachets but no details of grams used. In New Zealand those sachets/brand are not available. Thanks for making a universal video!

    Thank you! I have wanted to do gelli printing with a group of kids, but it was way, way above my budget. You just brought it into our grasp!

    keep in mind DIY budgets are different in different states and cities. in NYC it's more expensive to get the gelatin, glycerin, and the EtOH than to buy the plate itself. it would've come to $38, while the 8x10 plate is only $25.

    Yeah, but, she made an 11x17, over twice as big, and you can't even buy that size. I made some small plates not quite the equivalent of one 8x10 for $5 in supplies so NYC costs must be outrageous!

    Hey if it’s cheaper to get the Gelli plate I would do that!

    I still have the first ones I made. I think they get better to longer they sit.

    What kind of plastic do you use to put the Gelli plate on after you've made it? I looked at a Big Box Store and can't seem to find anything flexible but thick enough.

    Hi, nice video. I made my own but the acrylic dries wile im inking the plate and sticks back into the roller. I tried using retardant and also water in the acrylic but nothing seems to work, I can't ink the plate. Any suggestions? Thanks!

    I completely understand. I had one that did the same thing. I found that the older ones did a better job and that the ones I just made wanted to stick. I'm putting the one I made in the video in the sun to dry to see if that makes a difference. I also noticed that the side that was toward the cookie sheet printed better. I'm going to work with it again and keep you posted in the comments or make a video about it.

    Yes. Rubbing alcohol stands for Isopropyl alcohol.

    She said the higher alcohol though so make sure it's not the 70%. The one I have is 91% (but I havent made it yet so I'm a newbie responding)
