Do you or can you recall the procedure for making the silicone coated sheets of paper? I tried it but never got the silicone to spread very evenly. That is why I thought the silicone sheets that can be bought from an online vendor might do well. They are also fairly high temp sheets so I dont THINK the printer would melt it.
