So today, I set up my silkscreen and got the emulsion set up. For exposure time I used a 500W Halogen Lamp at 15 minutes. (Previously I did about 9 minutes). I'm not so sure what to use with a 500W Lamp. After I washed the burned area out, I allowed my screen to dry before using it. When I tried to start painting, I got bloches all over my design on the shirt. The paint seemed to bleed through the masked areas. Also, sometimes the paint got stuck inside the stencil area. Does anybody know what I'd doing wrong?

Setup:

Speedball Silk Screen
White Fabric Paint
500W Lamp @ 15min exposure
