Default Can you re-stretch a burned emulsion with a roller frame?
So if you wanted to catalog your screens, could you just remove an image burned into the screen and re stretch it later?
Im not sure, if this is possible.
Does anyone do that?
Would the emulsion be strong enough to tak ethat?
thanks guys!

HMMM Interesting Idear.
I dont think it would work as unless you get exactly the same tension across the mesh your image would be distorted.
I stand to be corrected though.

While I haven't tried it, I'd agree with fizz - I'd be very concerned about image distortion.

I'm pretty sure it would be very, very tricky to do.
