It usually takes at least 2 hours to dry after applying the emulsion. Air circulation(fan) speeds the drying time.

It sounds like you may be having exposure issues rather than drying issues. How long do you expose your screen to light? What kind of light source do you have?

i contacted the ulano people and they told me that the emulsion was no good after being mixed 3 month shelf life so That has to be it it was around 3 months since i last used it .
