Do I need Need a separate screen for underbase?

Hi
I want to print a bright red onto a 100% black cotton tee.
The course I did sold SuperCover waterbase inks, with more pigment for going onto dark shirts, but some of the examples they had still looked a little patchy.
I guess the thing to do is an underbase, but they didn't cover this in the course.
Do I make another screen for the underbase (complete positve), and does the stencil need to be slightly smaller?
Also, any tips for undebase work and getting bright waterbase colours on dark shirts?
Cheers
Shaun
