I wouldn't burn too may days waiting for a mat to form when the seeds sink and the gel coat is off they will be fine.
Letting them ferment for too long will cause low germination rate and sometimes the seeds will sprout.
I also dont find separating the seeds in the plate one by one is necessary.
dry for 12 hours or so and separate with thumb and forefinger let dry more do it again.
As far as the type of plate you should not use paper plates.
Paper plates are of poor taste.
You should use the best china you have for good taste and the best tasting tomatoes.
Sometimes the instructions are more complicated than the actions.
Why did I save (these) seeds?
I have never grown mortgage lifter before.
The plant was bought at the store.
It was planted in a container way late and produced fruit until it got way hot.
The darn thing is still alive and blooming in extreme heat even though the blossoms are dropping.
I was just going to buy seeds but thought to myself, 'No I want seeds from this plant.
This will insure the best chances of the same thing.
What if a label got moved around or something?
I would never find it again.
But I am sure it is what it says it is because the label clips into the little container they come in and very hard to get out.
My main concern is to get the gel coat off not disease.
