hi everyone! nice to meet you.....
i am having a problem. for the last 2 years i have been making my screens by printing the image onto regular computer paper, rubbing canola oil on the paper to make the paper transluscent ( a weird habit i picked up ) drying the paper and burning the screen in the sun. i have never had a problem woth this method.
recently i bought an exposure unit. i used my oil paper method and followed the instructions. the screen washed out beautifully and i laid it in the sun to harden futher.
after printing 10 shirts, with waterbased ink, i needed to wash the screen, as i washed the screen the emulsion started coming off. what happened?? after it hardening in the sun i thought it would be set.
