re: can I go to home depot buy something that will work to clean my screens? No, just don't let it dry, wash it out with soapy water, That's what a guy i met at a screen printing trade show recommended to me, he owns a screen printing shop in WV , I was going to try it next time I print. Do a little peace can't hurt and screen ain't that much to try once, but, he really stood behind his statement when I asked him the same thing.

re: can I go to home depot buy something that will work to clean my screens? your best bet is using the 147 or a wash like it, using the harsh chemicals isnt worth the savings.

Re: can I go to home depot buy something that will work to clean my screens? DONT use lacquer thinner (or any other "hot" solvent), it will lock your emulsion in if it's not fully sensitized. Its hard to get it out..
