While Speedballs own emulsion remover works great for removing their green diazo emulsion, is there something else I could use instead? It's a pain to use because I can only find it in 8oz containers, and I have to order it online. I thought it smelled just like chlorine for pools, so I bought some of that at the pool store but it didn't work. Mineral spirits as well as paint thinner and acetone also did not, and even straight bleach wouldnt remove the emulsion.
If there are no alternatives, does anyone know where I can buy Speedballs remover in a larger quantity?
Thanks guys, I'm new at this and loving it so far. -Mike

we use a generic powder we get from our supplier, works great on any emulsion, and you mix it up with water in a spritzer as you need it. More powder =stronger.
spray on, spread with glove (do both sides)
wait a minute, blast with pressure washer - done.
if you are buying liquid, you paying for water.
