Also what type of emultion remover do you need, or do you still use the yudu brand

[kirtique5]

The emulsion remover Yudu sells will work. The kit comes with enough concentrated emulsion remover to mix a gallon. The emulsion in the kit is basically the same stuff as the capillary films, but a different brand and in liquid form. The scoop coater is just wide enough to cover the interior of the screen, but not so wide it drags on the edges.

Hi! Thanks for making these videos and answering questions. I'm just a beginner trying to learn the art. Why do you apply emulsion on both sides of the screen? Can it be done with just one side coated so I can put it in the Yudu fan?

[kirtique5]

I don't see why you couldn't use the drying box either way. It's just very slow.

You coat both sides so you get an even and thick enough coat. When you apply the final coat, it basically pushes the emulsion through the screen, so it's mostly on the opposite side.

does it have the same quality or it has a specific thichness that needs to be used when doing it with yudu?because if the emulsion thats being used coming from yudu is just teh same as the regular emulsion screenprinters use then this is the way to go...have you tried exposing it?is it any different doing it with teh emulsion sheet they provide? thanks in advance

[kirtique5]

The capillary films are the same emulsion. The difference is that the emulsion is applied differently. Technically, capillary films are better, but it's overkill for this application. It's like watching Blueray disks on a B&W TV.

Good Call. I just buy the actual yudu sheets though for dirt cheap from the ebay store "BCN".They sell the original yudu emulsion sheets for like $22 for a 10 pack with shipping already included!  It's awesome and they work so well!

What is the exposure time for this using the Yudu light for a 110 and a 220 screen?

[xoallieo4]

Where could I get the liquid emulsion and the scooper???

[ddamm01]

what size scoop coater are you using I ordered a 10in and it is not large enough to cover the whole screen with one pass like yours did?

[musiclover1ism]

so where can i get this liquid emulsion?

[Karasueatpeople]

It's funny cause I bought some liquid emulsion + the emulsion remover for about 30 bucks. Totally worth it.

[donron2002]

That is soooo cool.  Thank you for sharing.

Thanks! Liquid emulsion is cheaper and is much easier to use!
