Default Can someone please help me?: heat from the tee shirt makes ink to dry in the screen

Hey guys, I was wondering if anyone else has gone through this before and if there is a way to prevent it and fix it when it happens...

Ok, here is the situation...I burned the screen, everything looked great, made about 9 tee shirts. Then, I would try pulling the screen up from the shirt after applying the ink and it would stick to the shirt. Pleanty of adheasive on the board too. Then, the screen gets clogged with ink. I can no longer use the screen i was using because it won't wash out. What I am thinking is, because im printing yellow ink on black shirts and i had to use the flash dryer in between coats. The heat from the tee shirt is causing the ink to dry in the screen? Does that sound like something that happens often? Anyways, does someone have a solution to this or do i have to let the tee shirt cool in between coats? thanks, Nick
