Gelatine: Application: Soak 100g gelatine in 1L water for approx. 10 minutes. Then heat in a water bath, around 40-50°C is sufficient, never over 80°C. Always heat in a water bath, never directly on the stove! Used hot to pre-treat the cotton fabric (see lantern fabric) for Basel carnival lanterns. For better tension, approx. 10% grain glue should be added to the gelatine. Animal product for technical use.
