First thing you need to do is get a pressure washer. It helps alot. I use a dip tank to take my emulsion off. In the dip tank the chemical i use is called easi-strip by easi-way systems. And to take the ink off i use the easi-sol 701. Then, after that i use the ulano screen degreaser. Reclaiming is basically exactly what is say reclaiming the screen and preparing it to be reused and emulsioned to be able to do another design on the screen. There should be a lot of videos on youtube just search for "reclaiming screens" or "cleaning screen"
