Default dehazer

alright so i am reusing a screen for a new job. i am fairly new to the process. This is my first time using dehazer. i followed all the instructions on the dehazer bottle. however the ghost image won't come off. i use a garden hose with a sprayer. is it neccesary to have a power washer?
also i don't have the time to go buy new screens or pressure washer so is it alright if i coat the screen with emulsion and burn a design in it even if there is a ghost image in the screen from my last job?

Yeap you should be fine, all you need to do is make sure the emulsion is off your screen, a garden hose with a pressure nozel works fine.
recoat with emulsion let dry and you are good to go. good luck

when you have the $$$ do yourself a favor and just get a cheap pressure washer... I have a $100 Karcher from Lowes...I know some people have had bad luck with these, mine has been great 3 years and going strong...I had to replace the spray gun part $30 bucks. But worth it. Good Luck!!!!
