John-
Do you meant that the gelatin is on the plexi -- then paper on top -- ? And, how does this prevent curling when you dry it between coats?

First, I always apply my paper to a sheet of sandpapered Plexiglass witha brushed 10% Gelatine solution. The multiple coatings can be made with the paper held down this way and finally snapped off when finished and dried.
It works for me.
