Great job. You can speed up your washout time by wetting the screen down on both sides and then waiting about a minute before you start washing the screen out. That will gove your emulsion time to breakdown and makes it easier to rinse the design out. I like to rinse my halftone out with a portable pressure washer. It drops them out super fast. You can grab a cheep one less than 100 bucks. I ts great for places where there is no water so you just use a bucket of water to sit the hose in. Works great

Awesome! ... I have a Vastex E-100 ... I see how I could have saved a ton with your econo setup ... I think the glass is better way to hold down the film on a screen than using the rubber vacuum with suction ... Good job!

Great video it helped a lot! I do have a question though. Does the wattage of the light change the speed or effectiveness of the screen burning process or how well it comes out? Thanks a lot man

Yes the watts in the light does change how long it takes to burn the screen

What kind of emulsion is it again? Seems to work well. Review here trying to figure things out and retire burning my first screen today with your DIY set up but I think I didn’t mix my emulsion right or was too thick. The design blew out and then it took forever to wash out the emulsion from the screen -ugh!

Sounds like you are exposing it to long I use the chromoline WT or WR it’s for waterbase and plastisol how long did you expose for and is it the black led light

@@ApparelTalk Hey!Thanks for responding I actually have the same light as you. The 50 Watt LED light. I tried 15 sec, 30 sec and 45 sec. Same results on all of them. I bought the Ryonet RXP Dual Core Emulsion and have used that but I might have mixed it wrong. And like I said, too thick. It took me 1.5 hours to wash out 4 screens that I tried burning (to no avail). Keep up the good work on your videos! I love learning about screenprinting.

You mean to tell me you don't need to have all that fancy expensive equipment like a majority of the people on youtube claim? 😄. Built my own box with a lid that has spandex material on top. Put a piece of 2" foam to sandwich it together. Haven't had time to use it yet. But hopefully it does good.

I have never had an big expensive exposure unit I can burn everything from halftones to anything you need even CYMK prints. The light I have is the LED light from Amazon cost like $50 and still works perfect to this day. I lay a piece of glass on top of the pressure and never have had an issue and I print everyday.

Every video I see says you have to have a little controlled room for the emulsion, yet I saw you put the emulsion on in the car port and just put it in a covered box to dry. Then here you don't seem to be in any real hurry setting up your screen. Have you had any problems with the screens doing it the way you do. As one Vet to another, keep up your great work.

No sorry for the late response but never had any issues because the emulsion is set with UV only the carport has a UV blocker on it from the manufacture
