Yesterday, 4/15/16, I mixed up 1-1/2 liters of gelatin in preparation for pouring a dozen sheets of future oil print paper. For my own future reference, here’s the recipe:
120g gelatin (for an 8% mix)
50mL isopropyl alcohol
7.5mL of a 1% chrome alum mix
1.5mL glycerin
Distilled water to make 1.5 liters
Here are some shots of the day:
Three leveled pouring stations made of plywood, plate glass, and galvanized sheet metal.
Freshly poured clear gelatin with 0.035″ magnetic vinyl strips to act as a dam. I use 80mL per sheet and smooth the liquid with a heated stainless steel rod. Each paper is 11″ x 14″
Sheets are hung to dry for two days.
