Re: Laser toner on Silicone sheet??

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.
