Paint dried on brayers is easy to remove; I do it at least once a week. Just start at either end of the roller and pull paint away from the roller gradually until you’ve pulled enough to tear or cut off. You’ll know you’ve gotten to Master’s Level when you can pull all the paint off in one continuous sheet! You can also soak your brayer in warm, soapy water for about 10-15 minutes and the paint will start to release.
Enjoyed this. Thanks for posting. Nice loose approach. Interesting to see the use of the big gelli plate still in its tray without using the full surface- makes thing even more fluid. I repair mine by breaking it into chunks and melting in a microwave. I melt smaller plates in their trays and just let them cool.

Good energy and impressive plate. Many thanks for the video.
I like the large gel plate.
I also like to clean the plate with a fresh layer of paint on dry layers to get all the ink up.
Do you ever use a baron? I saw someone make them with a smooth jar lid with a cabinet knob super glued to the inside of the lid. 20:45
