I recently used my gel plate for the first time, and in experimenting with what I had, I think I found that I like my silicone mold sheets much better.

I have recently bought a large 16 x 20 gel plate and naturally wanted to try the large 12" blade on it. I used Golden bronze and build the plate in layers, combining the blade marks with sweeps of the 2" coarse brush resulting in the print on the left. But you do not need a large plate.
