I am new to silk screening and I am having trouble washing my emulsion away. The emulsion will bubble ruining the design or the design will start to fall off. Is this due to a lack of light or is the emulsion not able to fully grip the screen? Any tips would help and be greatly appretiated

[CatspitProductions]

@porsenora This could be under exposure or poor emulsion to mesh adhesion. Under exposure can cause the emulsion to become saturated with water prematurely in the washout booth. That will cause you to easily reuse parts of your stencil and bubbling as well. Poor mesh adhesion can also cause bubbling and it could be a combination of these. Try prepping your screens better before coating them with emulsion and try increasing your exposure time a bit. Thanks for watching and leaving a comment! ☠

Ive pretty much watched all your videos on screen printing here. By far the best on YouTube. All the emulsions I find are two part. What brand do you use in this video that seems to be a one part?

[CatspitProductions]

@thallium200 Thank you very much. I’m happy to hear you like my videos best. Yes, this is a photopolymer which is pre sensitized. Textil PC or PV form SaatiChem is what I normally use. You can find them at a discount on the Catspit website using a promo code. Link is on the channel page and in the video description. Thanks for watching and leaving a comment! ☠

what is the cheapest brand of emulsion and how much would shipping be to the uk?

thanks catspit......you rule and rock.....whichever you prefere

[CatspitProductions]

@OldDirtyRetard I really don’t know what the cheapest emulsion on the market is. And as far as shipping to the U.K. It wouldn’t be economically practical I think for just a little emulsion. The shipping is likely to cost more than the emulsion. Thanks for watching & commenting! ☠

hi im richard head and i enjoy this video...thanks much

[CatspitProductions]

@MEXICANMADESTWR That may be good. You can also use emulsion remover to clean the scoop coater too. It will help get any dried emulsion off of it. Thanks for watching and commenting!
