how long do you suggest setting the time for?

getting ready to do my first set!:)

[CatspitProductions]

@freedomsouldier I’ll send you a message about this. A bit much too answer here. Thanks for watching and leaving a comment! ☠

[bojogon]

sir, can i use the SUN to transfer my pattern to the screen?

how long it will take, when i expose it to the SUN??

[CatspitProductions]

@bojogon Yes you can use the sun to expose your screen but your exposure will depend on your geographic location, the weather, and your film positives as well as your emulsion. I would recommend using a 1000 W work light instead. Thanks for watching and leaving a comment! ☠

doubling the sheet of the design could make further trouble if not aligned... edges of exposure come dull... what i do is print the same sheet twice or even 3x, it works, but be very careful in feeding the printer...

[CatspitProductions]

@zhivagoleon Wow, I could never get my printer to print film in exactly the same place feeding it through twice. And actually photographically speaking if your exposure is accurate any slight misalignment of film should be unnoticeable in the stencil. It seems to work out when the emulsion is fully cured however you can lose resolution. But I don’t have any problems lining it up once in a while when I do that. Thanks for watching & commenting! ☠

Thank you catspit for answering every question we post on your videos..

I would like to ask if how many hours should an emulsion to dry to be ready to be exposed and how many minutes should it be exposed.. i only have a DIY exposure unit.. 4 florescent bulb.. cause i always failed to make a perfect washing.. tnx in advance.. more power..

[CatspitProductions]

@SayidShazeen Sounds good if it works for you all. Nice job. Thanks for watching & commenting! ☠

@link6913 We use two unfiltered blacklights at my school. We hang them from above, so you will need to make sure you reverse the motif. Won't even need weights or vacuum as long as you make sure they are taped flat. :)

[SayidShazeen]

@CatspitProductions Yes. At my school we use two unfiltered blacklights that works perfectly. Wont even need the vaccum, just use a couple of weights on the frame to keep it down. Weights might not even be neccesary. :)
