can you use it as bacon press?

I don’t believe you can use it as a bacon press.

How to clean the baren

I usually use hand sanitizer to clean my printing tools.

Does this work with block printing on fabric? (Specifically shirts)

This Speedball Block Printing Baren is only used in printmaking and not for use on fabric.

Which baren is better for gel printing this or the red baren?

This one is ok. I found it was cheaply made for the price. Check around for better price and different barens.

Calidad Speedball

Buen producto, cumple su función cuando se sabe usar correctamente. Aún así, siempre vale la pena tener una cuchara de madera a mano si se necesita algún retoque. El baren funciona muy bien pero es importante recordar que está pensado para papeles de poco gramaje, a mayor gramaje más difícil será estampar con él.

Great tool for gel tablet printing

I use this baren for all my gel plate prints and works just fine. It has a great ergonomic design with a sturdy wooden handle. Slides easily over the print paper, assuring a tight grip of paint between the gel tablet and the printing paper. You can do the same with a bottle or some other object. It's not a must that you should have this barten but it provides great facility and control when smoothing the paper. If you print daily, I'm sure you'll appreciate the ergonomic comfort it provides. It is a bit on the pricey side. It's not cheap. But it is well constructed and should last longer than its cheaper and mostly plastic alternatives.
