Hi.

In an effort to reclaim a screen, can you just recoat the screen with new emulsion and reburn it? Would that work?

[CatspitProductions]

@harpo103 No because the old emulsion is cured and will no longer react to light at all. You have to fully remove the old emulsion and stencil form the mesh, degrease the mesh and let it dry then re coat with emulsion. Thanks for watching and leaving a comment! ☠

HAHA. yea i had purchased a few black lights from home depot...

[CatspitProductions]

@MonKeywithAGun420 Can you get the right ones at Home Depot? If so that’s good info, thanks. Thanks for watching & commenting! ☠

How well do black lights work to expose a screen?

[CatspitProductions]

@MonKeywithAGun420 Industrial black lamps work great. Novelty black lamps from the store at the mall will not work. These are two very different types of bulbs. It’s important to use the industrial black lamps with the high UV output to cure the emulsion. Do not use the black lamps people like to dance under...LOL. Thanks for watching & commenting! ☠

@c0kar7 That will depend on the day, your location, your emulsion, your film and how thickly you coated your screen. I use an exposure unit so I can only guess: 15 minutes or so for a dual cure and maybe 5 minutes for a photopolymer emulsion. I’m really not sure; could take longer depending on circumstances. There are a lot of people on YouTube who do use the sun to expose screens. Do a search for it. Thanks for watching & commenting!
