Hello!

My glass is room temperature (below 20C). I wet the plastic sheet and
squeegee it onto the glass -- on larger pieces I will tape the corners and
sides down with transparent tape.

The gelatin is about 37C when I pour it on. I have time to do two passes
with the rod before it sets up. I have to remove bubbles (if any) quickly.

I find that by stirring in the pigments, etc. in carefully, letting it sit
for several hours at 37C, then pouring through stockings seems to take care
of the bubble problem.

Best of luck to you!
