Love the facial expression. So did I, why I chose it to work up. I still have loads to learn.... and everyone else was very traditional on the course, but the place does everything from intaglio prints, letter press, batik, book binding, cloth printing as well as screen printing. When i can get some time, i'm going to join the workshop co-op so i can use the facilities.... but it won't be until after christmas and i need to work up some images...... leedsprintworkshop.org/gallery/ |

Just failed in decoating a screen. Still some emulsion left in the screen and ran out of my decoating spray. I read that the screen will probably be broken if you make a longer break during decoating. But it will take a few days until a new bottle of decoater arrives here. Are there any other solutions? What does a decoater contain? Must be possible to mix something up by yourself...
Anybody knows help? Or has an idea? Open for experimenting.

Open for experimenting. no you should be fine as long as you washed the screen afterwards (you dont want to leave any chemicals in the screen). By decoater I assume you mean emulsion remover? Make sure the emulsion remover is the right type for the emulsion you used... There are different types of emulsion... Dual Cure, Photopolymer etc... so if you're using a Dual Cure emulsion, make sure the emulsion remover you use is made for Dual Cure etc can you post a photo to make sure I understand the problem? ps - the best way to use emulsion remover is to spray both sides of the screen, scrub, then wait a couple of minutes before washing it out (the time will depend on the brand).... Make sure you have high water pressure... I use a pressure washer, but that's not always needed |

Make sure you have high water pressure... I use a pressure washer, but that's not always needed Thanks for that detailed answer fed! Yes I was talking about a emulsion remover. I just translated the german word, doesn't always work. The remover came with the emulsion, it was definetly the right one. I am using high water pressure too. Maybe made a mistake by not scrubbing enough on that side of the screen before starting with the water. But I guess my biggest fault was to start the process without enough remover. Paniced a little bit yesterday after reading about that it can ruin the screen forever. it is one of my few metal screens i bought and didn't made myself. Not able to restring/recover(?) those. But knowing now that it will be fine because i washed and scrubbed EVERYTHING out of it for like 20minutes. Execpt of that damn emulsion on the damn right side... doubt that there are any other chemicals left. So thanks for giving me the hope that it is not too late! Already ordered some new remover and waiting now for it to arrive. Can take pictures if I get it and go back to the studio. Hopefully some pictures of the completly clean screen too! |

Hopefully some pictures of the completly clean screen too! here's a good, short video... The whole process should only take a few minutes. If it takes longer, then it's time to troubleshoot  also - you can reuse aluminum screens, but you'll need a stretcher to get the mesh tight. Something like this www.amazon.com/INTBUYING-x24-Hand-Screen-Stretcher/dp/B00DI31LPY |
