Default Overly Soaked Emulsion

So I've been having some problems with getting my emulsion out. I'm using a dip tank with the CCI Microwash 2 (from Ryonet). I talked to them a while ago and they had informed me that if you leave the screens in the tank for too long that it can be difficult to strip the emulsion. Does anyone have any advice on how to approach a screen that has surely been left in the tank too long (i.e. several weeks)?

I also had an instance where I left the emulsion remover on the screen too long and it "locked" into the screen. I used some Haze/Ghost remover and let the screen sit for about 20 minutes then washed it out. No problems. Give it a try and see if that helps.
