I can dig up the notes that Sandy King sent me. I basically followed the
procedure he recommended. The formula I used you now have.

Well ... no not really. I had originally thought there might be an
advantage to using a plastic substrate. For instance, the dimensional
stability of the plastic could conceivably make registration for three or
four color carbon more accurate. However, I'm not convinced it is worth
the effort for monochrome work.

You just coat the plastic sheet like you would a piece of card stock.
However, there does need to be an interface layer between the plastic and
the gelatin so the pieces don't separate. Otherwise, the gelatin peels
off of the plastic as it dries. See my previous note to Judy.

I would be interested.
