Can you use texture paste on this gelli plate?

I put texture paste or modeling paste or caluk from the hardware store on an 8 x 10 canvas board (or any size you desire) and make my pattern. When it is dry you can use this board to make marks or designs on the paint on your Gelli Plate without putting these compounds on your gelli. I would never use texture paste directly on the plate.

Can you successfully use cheap craft paint with/on this plate?

I use Apple Barrel, Ceramcoat or Folk Art acrylic paints which I buy for a good price at Walmart. They actually work better than more expensive paints. I buy watercolors in a tube and also use them on my Gel Plate. I mix them sometimes with a little Matte Gel Medium.

I am looking for ideas of how to store this.

I store mine in original packages after cleaning

can this gel plate be cut to another size?

I don't see any reason why not. It's "solid".....no gel would "run out". I'm thinking of purchasing a larger one to cut down to 8 1/2 X 11" to fit a standard sheet of paper.

Changed My Life/Art

I didn't start with this size - and honestly this one is still in the package as I work my way up - but these have changed my life. I now have three plates and really wish I had the space to use them more. These have been such a rewarding art medium to use...and it's prompted me to make other things - like stencils. It's helpful that there is a learning curve with the plate...it's made me slow down and appreciate the ride while I learn how to use it. I've kept most of my prints so I can see how far I've come and can't wait until I have pieces worthy to frame and put on the wall. I'm also thinking of using this as a side hustle and maybe creating handmade collage papers...but we'll see. Love this...if you're thinking about trying it - start small and watch a lot of YouTube content on how to use it. If you already paint or write - you probably have everything you need to get started. I use acrylic paint and markers and - like mentioned above - have been creating my own stencils to use with it.

Fun new craft supply

Just because I am not very good at it yet doesn’t mean it’s not a great product that I’m having a great time playing with. Works just like all the videos. Cleans easily. Size is perfect.

Try it out ... great fun!

This was my first time using a gel plate. I had a great time and would encourage crafters to try it. It is a great the price on the bundle!

Shy of being 8 x 10, but otherwise fine

Disappointed that the sides are slightly shy of 8 inches or 10 inches. I need 8"x9" exactly and didn't want to spend the money for a bigger gel plate. However this gel plate works as it is expected too and I saved money on this one over other brands. Just be aware if you are looking for a full 8 or 10 inches this may be not be the one for you.
