Is the gelatine you get from the supermarket OK for finings? It's just gelatine right?
 
Yep, same thing. Just make sure you don't boil it. You'll get beer jello.
 
Do I put it in the Primary for the last few days? Or do I add it to the pressure barrel when priming?
 
Personally I add it to the primary and give it 3-5 days, depending on the temperature that I'm conditioning at. I prefer to precipitate out as much yeast as possible before I transfer. Even with this method (and cold crashing), there is plenty of yeast to carbonate in bottles.
