I’m sorry I’m not familiar with glycerol and I’m not sure if it’s a substitute for glycerin. I use boiling water so that it dissolves. I do add everything in exactly the order of the video. Sometimes I get a few bubbles (not many) and I skim the top with a piece of stiff paper. I don’t worry about it too much because I use the other side to print. They have always set up for me so I don’t know about substituting other materials. I hope that helps.

Hi! What is the purpose of the alcohol ? Would 45% work ok?

Hey Kathi an art group I belong to mentioned some stamps I stumbled upon at a thrift store would be awesome on a gelli plate. I laughed and said that 2 years of retirement has shown me what I actually need to what I desire. So, she told me that there are recipes to make your own. I have now researched this quite a bit on youtube and there are probably as many recipes. YOU ARE THE ONLY ONE who gives measurements, CLEAR directions, compare and contrast (even though its a different video), and whatever else I can't think of. Also, you are the ONLY ONE who adds 91% plus alcohol and you don't mention having to keep them refrigerated, so I'm thinking the alcohol is the key!! I, personally, need directions that could be in the "Something for Dummies" books, especially mixing any kind of chemical. I appreciate YOU!!

Loved your video. Im just little confused about measuring of cups. Which measuring cup you are using? What its name? I don't have this type of cup. Can i add these ingredients by regular tea cup or i need your specific measuring cup that you're using in this video? Thanks

Love this but I am wondering if you can use these inks and print on paper?

I love this!! Thanks so much!

Why did you do the drawing on newsprint with underglaze? Wouldn't any paper with markers work the same? I would use newsprint and underglaze if I was making a transfer but in this case you are making a silkscreen to use with underglaze inks, right?

I,m wondering if the commercial gelli plates are made using glass as a pouring surface as opposed to a metal baking sheet , which would have a slight texture . Even though they seem smooth , the baking sheets would have some “Tooth” , thus holding onto the ink . Just a thought ….

How long will this kind of plate last? Is there a natural shelf-life limit or can they be used indefinitely unless they tear apart or sustain some other, external damage?

I haven’t tried the oven. I have made a double batch and that worked. Let me know if it works!

Question -- have you ever put your tray with these ingredients in an oven? I had to make 2 batches to fill my large tray and I'm wondering if I need to do something to ensure the two pours don't separate. The first was starting to set up before the other was ready to pout -- less than 10 minutes.

We used to take gelatin capsules for hair and nail and skin heath. It does seem to work on hair. From the inside.

Beautiful explanation. What are the measurements for an a4 gelliplate?

Thank you so much of this clear step-by-step demonstration.

How long do they last

Does anyone think that I can just do 1.5 part alc : 1.5 part glc : 1 part gel : 3 parts water regardless of actual measurements? As long as I keep the ratios the same?

Thank you. Very informative. I've made a few smaller silkscreens using this method, and used 110 mesh silkscreen fabric, which was only $9.99 at Amazon for 3 yards. It will last me forever I think! Here's my question: The HTV I got a few years ago is in a packet of several colors, and obviously it doesn't matter what color it is for the purpose of silkscreening. But I would love it if the vinyl were transparent, so I could see exactly where the silkscreen will be applied. When I searched for clear HTV, the results were for sublimation. So I'm wondering if it the sublimation HTV will be the same as the colored kind in terms of strength, etc.

This is the best explanation for making a gelli plate. Now, I'm going to go make my very first gelli plate following Kathy's instructions!!! Thank you!!

Distress inks won’t work on homemade but will on manufactured plate.

Love it. Thanks so much for this information ❤❤❤

kathy, what alcohol do you use?

I'm about to have a go at making my own gelli plates. While I am waiting for my gelatin to arrive, I've been wondering if adding a small amount of preservative to the mix would be beneficial in any way. I have a number of different types on hand because I make my own skin care products. I discovered you on Clayshare. Great stuff!

Many instructions don't include Alcohol. Why do some of them? What's the benefit?

today 8/13/2024, I tried to find the Amaco Inks at different pottery supply stores. Any idea when the Inks might be available?

Thank you. I needed such of recipe without using of a microwave. Your video is perfect.

How that's really cool thank you for the session really liked it and learned alot 😊

Thank you so much... I paint larger paintings. So this size is right up my alley. 😊🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

Hello, thank you for this amazing video tutorial! I would like to know if you can reuse the stencil after printing with the ink on the slab? Thank you a lot if you can answer! Xxx

Can I fire the bisque tile at cone 5? Thanking you in advance Kathy

Is it safe to fire gel medium? What about fumes?

Thank You!!

Thank you for the video. Is there a reason that you didn’t just press the inked gel plate to the clay forgoing the tissue paper? And when there is remaining ink on the plate, just stamp it on another tissue for a second print

Thanks Kathy!😀

Thanks Ms. Kathy! Gelli Plates are brand new to me. You are really motivating me!

Are we talking hours or days to dry?

Great video, yours is the best set of instructions I have seen! Thank you so much for sharing this with us ❤️

Thanks for this! Subscribed 😊

Hey Kathy, can you mix the new amaco inks to make different colors? Love printmaking. On clay blows my mind.

Just watched your RUclips on new amaco inks. Fun! Can you mix these colors?

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!

Perfect instructions!! Thank you!! I made 2 Gelli plates with your instructions and they came out beautifully.

Soo good and great to review after last week’s vegas workshop.

So great to see how they perform. Those new velvet underglazes really seem worth it. Thanks as always!

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!

I’m sorry I’m just not sure and I don’t want to suggest something that doesn’t work.

I cant use the use light kits (wrong plug) but I can get a 30W led lamp in NZ. Your light casts blue purple. Is that something I need to ask for when I buy the lamp here?

This was super helpful!! One question though: Can you apply the ink to either side of the stencil? I want to print onto transfers, and it will have words, so I need a mirror image. Trying to figure out if I need to make the screen backwards. Thank you!!

Only one coat of underglaze?

❤
