[About the bloom of gelatin]
"Bloom" refers to the strength of the gelatin. The higher the number is, the thicker the mirror glaze gets. And the lower the number is, the softer the mirror glaze gets. That is why it is so important to know the number before purchasing them. The gelatin powder I used this time is Knox gelatin powder (Bloom 225), and the gelatin sheets are PerfectaGel Platinum gelatin sheets.
When using gelatin sheets or powder with different blooms, you'll need to adjust the amount to get the same consistency. The gelatins I used in the video are linked below.
