In many videos it is said that you should even leave the paper on the plate overnight, some even heat it with a hairdryer. I can't imagine that this works, mine have also torn the paper many times. Thank you very much, I will try it with more paint.
Thank you so much Lou, I feel I found this especially for me. You explain so much in such a way that it completely makes sense. I bought the textures Gelli plate after first watching your video and being inspired, however no matter how hard I tried it stuck, I watched loads of videos and got more and more confused. I got more papers with no joy, I finally changed my paints to cheaper pouring paints. Now I understand that the final layer needs to be wet in order to pull the print. Off to play some more, thanks again, Christine
Oh, wow! So many questions answered in one video. Thanks so much, Lou. I think I needed to start right here with your suggestions. I like the idea of using distress oxides.
I'd wondered why I never had the paper stick to my gel plate (I'm by no means experienced), but I realized that I switched to cardstock almost immediately when I started gel printing as I don't really use paper in my cardmaking, just mainly cardstock, and I thought it be more economical to just go ahead and use cardstock from the get go. I do use paper to remove the excess from my brayer and may save those if they're particularly interesting. The only "negative" for me with gel printing is that I can't stop once I start and thus end up with tons and tons of backgrounds to use.
I bought a gel plate from the thrift store with paint dried to it. How do I clean that? I've used soap, so that's bad. Is there a way to revitalize it?

Hi Lou, another great video. More great info n tips. Thank you as always x
Wow Lou, thank you
Great tips. I've had trouble using watercolor paper, but I think it's because the paper was too textured.
Good advice. TFS

Very interesting
Can you use a canvas on this?
Lou this was awesome youtube video, thanks so much for sharing. You get 5*****
So you can't spritz the acrylic paints with water?
Just to be clear, navigator paper is a brand, correct? It’s not like the term cartridge paper, ie, a style or weight of paper.
Thanks a lot for these good tips, What is navigator paper? 😊
Prova ad aggiungere un po' di glicerina mischiandola con i tuoi acrilici.
