The last couple of screens I've washed have had emulsion sticking to it and it won't wash off. I don't think it's getting burned on or anything like that because my exposure time is perfect for washing the emulsion off, but when I reclaim my screen is when I can't get the emulsion off in little spots. Any suggestions?

Thanks

What are you doing to reclaim the screen? Emulsion remover? Power sprayer?

If you are using a garden hose, you may need to switch to a pressure washer. Also, you should be using emulsion remover if you aren't already.

Really scrub the screen down on both sides (with emulsion remover) and let it sit for a little bit and then use a pressure washer to rinse it out. I've never had any problems.

Cool, I'll try all of these methods; I do use a garden hose and I never had any problems before. Thanks
