Fill up your emulsion coater and start coating screens!

Application:
We recommend you always degrease the mesh. As a general indication, we suggest you apply 1 or 2 coats of emulsion on the external face of the screen and 1 or 2 coats on the internal face, wet on wet, then a final dry coat on the inside of the screen to push the emulsion to the back of the screen. We recommend using our emulsion coater to do this.

Drying:
We advised that you dry the screen in a ventilated oven, horizontal, at 30-35°C for 20-30 minutes according to the coating thickness, do not use too much heat.

Alternatively You can air dry over night in a light safe area.

Exposure
Lamp type, distance from lamp to screen, mesh type, and coating thickness can affect exposure time. To determine the correct exposure time, we suggest you conduct some tests with an exposure calculator. Our suggestion: Lighting halogen: 5000W Application: 1-2 internal coats, 1-2 external coats . Recommended to be used with our Exposure bulbs or Exposure Unit.
