I don't understand why you think it's in packets, unless it's comment by someone else has confused you.<br /><br />Use the orignal recipe to work out quantities - if you change then you'll need to keep the ratio the same other wise it won't work.<br /><br />I had to work out my own ratios and so will you, I'm sorry I can't help any more than that. <br />I'd rather not take responsibility for maths for your sized container. I've shared the original fifty year old recipe and it works. <br /><br />My jelly plate made four years ago now is as good as day it was made except for dew dents I added!! By accident.<br />Shaz.

I am sorry for the delay in reply, I hadn't been online, very busy.<br />You could try re-melting it and adding more gelatine to it. I have never had one not set with this recipe, but you just follow the right quantities.<br />I pray it sets for you with re-melting it and adding more gelatine... <br /><br />That's all I can suggest.<br />I rather suspect different countries might have differing types of gelatine, as someone inUkraine had issues too. However she said she solved it...so,trust you will too.<br />God bless, Shaz in Oz.xShaz in Oz.CalligraphyCardshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18050100007497130952noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1359905425914127607.post-64124885862386154032015-05-16T21:03:22.283+10:002015-05-16T21:03:22.283+10:00dear shaz now its been two day my gelli plate hasn...dear shaz now its been two day my gelli plate hasnt hardened i posted a comment yesterday but no reply im a bit troubled as things r very expensive in india pls reply fastAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01616323400941836409noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1359905425914127607.post-51136864120587013932015-05-15T21:56:33.829+10:002015-05-15T21:56:33.829+10:00hi shaz im new to this website and love it .i live...hi shaz im new to this website and love it .i live in india and i followed your instructions but my gelli plate did not solidyfy even after 2 hrs please reply fast and how much time goes it take to solidyfy and also should i refridgerate itAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01616323400941836409noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1359905425914127607.post-49258207455739322932014-06-06T22:06:33.349+10:002014-06-06T22:06:33.349+10:00Try your recipe eqivalents on box Angel wings... n...Try your recipe eqivalents on box Angel wings... no idea if leaf is same as ONLY use powdered.<br />If not recipe equivalent on box, then ring their manufacturing help line on box.... you bought their product so deserve service.<br /><br />Ratios matter in recipes so stick to the right tried true ratio... powdered gelatine is lot cheaper so if to be safe get it.

It was a bit sticky at first but we left it for a while and stickiness disappeared. Fantastic results. Just wanted to advise you that I posted a link to your website on Artist Journal Workshop FB site as I know many people will be interested to make a Gelli plate for their art journalling & yours is a tried & tested recipe.

However, for the first tries I used regular acrylic paint, the one usually used on canvas, but then I tried with Distress paint, much more liquid, and the problem was solved... also helped the fact that I cleaned the plate a few times, I suppose.

Your instructions are clear and easy to follow, but I must have done something wrong, because my plate is too sticky... I have a hard time cleaning because paints adhere to the plate. I made it using yellow sugar... do you think I could melt it and add more water and/or glycerine? Any suggestions, please? Thank you.<br /><br /><br /><br />Posted by Cris G to Calligraphy Cards - Shaz in Oz at March 21, 2014 at 12:11 PM <br /><br />Answer to Cris:<br />No idea what yellow sugar is but my guess that is the problem. Glycerine is sticky as well as sugar if not mixed in right quantities. <br />To be honest I doubt if reheating and adding extra items would fix it but no harm in trying .. I suppose <br /><br />But think if it was me, I would use white sugar as per recipe and try again. It should wash off acrylic paint with soap and water. <br /><br />Some paints are not meant to be used on gelli plates so read up as to which paints should be used as this maybe the problem too.<br />Shaz in Oz.x<br /><br />PS This week there was really good tutorial on using the plate over here:<br />http://www.splitcoaststampers.com/resources/tutorials/gelprintingbasics/Shaz in Oz.CalligraphyCardshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18050100007497130952noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1359905425914127607.post-57601080361082552712014-02-26T07:51:45.981+11:002014-02-26T07:51:45.981+11:00So glad that i found your blog as i love all of th...So glad that i found your blog as i love all of this kind of work.
