You can dissolve them and use them like that, or if you have enough and
don't add any more water than the minimum necessary to dissolve them,
then pour them out into a Teflon coated pan and let it dry. I think
maybe the new Silicon pans would work, too, but I don't have any and
don't plan to get any to test it. I would tilt the pan back and forth
to try to evenly distribute the solution. Then just let it dry
thoroughly. Try to carefully pick up the corner and pull it off in a
sheet.
If it doesn't work well, you've lost nothing but your time. ;-)

Nuts, that should read "...would do with them."

Cool, I'll give it a try with one of my Teflon-coated jelly-roll
pans. Nothing ventured, nothing gained. ;-)
Thanks, again,

This man was driving down a country road when he saw a farmer with a pig
in an orchard. The farmer was holding the pig up to an apple tree and
the pig was happily eating apples. The man watched for a while as the
farmer walked to the next tree, and then the next.
Finally, he could stand it no longer. He got out of his car, and walked
over to the fence and hailed the farmer.
"What are you doing, if I might ask?"
"Feeding my pig apples," replied the farmer.
"Wouldn't it save alot of time if you put the pig on the ground and just
shook the trees so the apples fall off?"
The farmer thought about that for a while.
"Yeah, I reckon it would. But.....
What's time to a pig?"
This has become one of those family traditions. When someone suggests
trying something that might take some time, or a faster way to do
something, the standard reply is, "Yes, but what's time to a pig?"

Okay, so now I am curious. Has anyone out there ever tried SEWING the
leftover water soluble scraps together with water-soluble basting
thread? Maybe abutting the edges and sewing with a 3-step zigzag or
overcast stitch? The other ideas about wetting the stabilizer sound a
bit too advanced and messy for me... :-)
