Michael,

Thank you. I found Speedball Gel Meduim at Pearl Arts right where you said it would be. Thanks to your post, I'm waiting for my first board to dry. It does claim to be the stuff to use. Plastic IS forever, isn't it?

This container says to apply VERY thinly to both surfaces, wait a minute to tack up then press firmly together. I thought I had it thin enough but still had a time gettng the cloth to even out and spread the excess to the edges. I've wrapped the edges back 1-1/2" as you have suggested. I'll let you know how it goes.

Tim, I'm really looking forward to your new invention!
