New Step in Making the Gelatin Plate for Printing

that was first lined with plastic wrap.  Seems to be working.

I am always searching the internet to see what other printmakers are doing with gelatin.  I found a fun book by Susan Schwake, ART LAB for Kids and she lines the pan with plastic wrap for easy removal.  I am giving it a try.  The size of the pan and the wrap are a factor.  The wrap needs to be bigger than the pan so that is hangs over the edge and holds the gelatin.  I can’t wait to try  and take it out of the pan.  It is in the refrigerator hardening up.  I have to wait a couple of hours.
