hey i just wondered if anyone here could help me, i've been using some supplies from Wicked Printing Stuff and a few months back i tried burning an image, it didn't work mainly because i think the film positive wasn't black enough anyway 6 months later i went to strip the screens and nothing happens, the emulsion just sits there and i'm using the stencil strip and i had a hard time back then trying to strip the screens. i'm just using stencil strip a brush and cold water will i need a pressure washer to wash emulsion out of the screens?

I would say...... YESSSSSSSS!!!!!!!
i used to reclaim screens with a plain old garden hose and emulsion remover.....I would wet the screen then spray some remover on it...let sit for a few minutes...then spend 20 minutes spraying the screen and respraying the remover ..until the screen was clean....then another post I read said to goto the carwash and use the pressure washer there......what a huge difference......2 minutes and the screen was clean.....I will never use the garden hose again to reclaim screens....... moral of the story...."get a pressure washer or goto the carwash and use the pressure washer there" nuff said
