In an unrelated thread, forum member Zeta asked if glass could be uniformly coated with gelatin using a silkscreen process.
I think it would be good to brainstorm some possible ways to apply a uniform coating of gelatin to glass consistently and easily.
Silkscreening is a great candidate, but what about other methods?
- What if you spray-coated very thin layers of thin gelatin onto glass? Once each layer dries, the thickness or thinness of the original gelatin mixture shouldn't matter right? Basically, can we spraypaint gelatin onto glass and have a good surface finish?
- What about hydrocoating? Demonstration here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NlwZ9pUQlro
Well, obviously water wouldn't work as the liquid, but something that gelatin is insoluble in. Seems messy but could be worth it for large plates.
- What if you had a frozen block of gelatin and a really sharp blade -- would it be possible to shave off very thin films? Could those films be pressed onto glass cleanly?
Share your ideas, even if they're half-baked
