Consumer Critiques
This was identical (other than color) to what we utilized in a expert screen printing shop. Moderation is key or you will have fairly a mess on your hands... and screen, and floor, and anything else you are near. I utilized this with the YUDU printing machine. It worked nicely for the compact jobs I did. I just made use of the ink squeegee that came with the machine. It in all probability would've been much easier with a improved squeegee but I was just performing 1 or two screens at a time and it didn't call for a lot of precision. If you have a smaller design, you can place emulsion only across where your style will be to conserve. Just be certain to tape it off well. You can spread this stuff quite thin also. I think I produced 10 or 15 full screens with this bottle. It is the consistency of white glue and smells quite equivalent. If you spill, it is very easy to clean up with a wet cloth/paper towel or wait til it dries and peel it off. This is readily removed with the YUDU emulsion remover.
The first issue you want to do is check that nothing has broken, spilled, or dried. The emulsion with be thick like glue and blue in color. The remover will be thin and clear like medical alcohol or bleach. Both should have cardboard gasketed lids and foil caps on them. The sensatizer (tiny bottle) really should be either dry and at the bottom, or thick and at the bottom. If any of the sensatizer is spilled out of the little bottle (along the threads or down the side) send the kit back for a new 1 right away. The item is good if you get it undamaged, but Speedball utilizes incompetant monkey powered robots created from scrap pulled from the Robot Wars set to package anything so check your stuff.
As for operation, when the sensatizer is added to the emulsion it turns a great medium (not pretty emerald) green and will turn back to blue following it cooks out when you burn the stencil. Appear for a light-medium blue hue and the uncooked parts under the unfavorable image should really have a yellow, jaundace like hue to them. When cleaning out the emmulsion make positive to wipe up messes quickly as the emulsion leaves yellow stains on nearly every single surface recognized to man, such as porcelin and the steel rim around my sink. Trial and error for new users will take place, just don't leave emulsion in a screen for a lengthy period of time if you don't want a permenant stencil, and clean the screen entirely before letting it dry if you don't want a permenant stencil (yes the emulsion remover can make the emulsion impossible to remove. Do not ask me how, I failed mad science 101).
