hi OP
i used to sub layer with a hard coat of gelatin
but a handful of years ago, i just started coating
warm and putting on something super cold.
no hardener needed
and no sub coat needed. i was in total disbelief
when i was told it worked, and ... it does !
Jason has hard-earned experience that should be listened to, but for what it's worth, I don't sub. Just wash very carefully with detergent and water, more or less as Pere describes. For reused plates with stubborn spots, I use a bit of whiting in alcohol first.

Robert has a good point. I didn’t sub before I started selling them, but had to start doing so because other folks don’t or couldn’t control their temperatures as well, or had different water than what I use, etc.

I forgot those things would keep an emulsion layer from staying stuck. > oops! < Your methods make it foolproof for someone to use dry plates. When I first learned I can't tell you how many layers swirled down the drain kind of like a polaroid-lift gone very bad.
To be perfectly honest the technical knowledge I’ve gained over the past year has been massive. It’s been such a great learning experience. I’m pretty happy to have gotten to the point where I can proudly say I know what I don’t know, rather than not even knowing that.
