Hi.
Without knowing it was a bad idea, I reclaimed some coated but not exposed screens with chemical reclaimer. Now I have some very hazy screens. My power sprayer is broken, but if I get a new one would it reclaim them all the way? If I expose them now, would that make them reclaimable with just the chemical reclaimer? What can I do?

I am using concentrated reclaimer that ryanrss.com sells

thanks

You should be able to reclaim later when you get another pressure washer. But you need to make sure all of the chemicals you used to reclaim the screen is washed off so it doesn't dry and harden. Otherwise, just buy another screen.

Thanks Teddy,
Luckily I got my friend to take me to buy a new power sprayer tomorrow. I think it should do the trick. I have a few with emulsion bits that wouldn't come off, but I have a lot of other screens, so I'm not in big trouble if they're ruined, but I hope not.
I keep learning every day about this craft, mostly the hard way.
Happy printing.
