The usual recipe involves sugar solution with a few drops of washing-up 
liquid (I cannot remember the quantities as I have not made any for years - 
but could find it if no-one else has it).  However the washing-up liquid 
causes a foam of small bubbles which can be a nuisance; I found that 
dishwasher rinse aid worked far better.   Incidentally, you should not get 
discouraged if the first few sheets stick and are not very good; as the 
mould warms up things improve rapidly!

You can rinse the foundation after you have made it.

Best wishes
