Wet Mesh

Capillary film is applied to the mesh before it is exposed. You wet the mesh and the water that is held in the openings wets the film, which makes it sticky and it stays on the mesh.


When it dries, you remove the polyester backing sheet seconds before taping a positive in the proper location so it lines up on the press and you expose it to UV-A light.

Remove the positive and store it, then wash the unexposed areas with city water pressure. The unexposed areas will dissolve and go down the drain.
What should I be using?...This is a quote from their website.

"PhotoEZ is a unique material made from fine silkscreen mesh coated with light sensitive water-soluble polymer. It uses black and white images on plain white paper, sunlight and tap water to develop."

Can you recommend something?
