Why would you want to use a screen to put this on mirrors? I can't say for sure, but I would guess most any emulsion (and probably the mesh too) would be destroyed by the acid in ArmourEtch.
I know lots of people use cut vinyl as a stencil for armor etch, it holds up.

i just finished with 110 mesh. surprisingly enough, it worked great. emulsion was not damaged. flow was good too.

I thought vinyl mask was the way to go.
But isn't a lot of time spent in the screen prep?
Are you satisfied with the results?
Thank you for sharing it.
