I use my shower room to clean out the emulsion after a job but I forgot I had a few screens there that havnt been exposed yet. I have yet to replace the light bulb with a yellow light bulb. Are those screens screwed and just need to be reclaimed again? It was about 5 mins. till I realized it.

Using a photopolymer emulsion and not sure if the light sensitivity is the same when dried and laid on the screen as opposed to being in its wet stage. Total newb. Any thoughts?

I won't hurt to try one!

Yea i would try it first. worst case is they won't washout because they have already exposed themselves but i would bet you can get them to work still.

photo-polymer is more sensitive to light but a normal incandescent bulb doesn't put off much...

Yeah, Imma still try it. Being a newb Im hoping to not let 5 screens break my spirits and keep me from thinking that I did something else wrong in the process.

But in the same instance does emulsion have the same light safeness when its wet or already dry on the screen?

I coat all my screens in a dark room environment.. but I have read that wet emulsion isn't effected by light all that much until it has dried... but don't take my word on that, it's just something I read on the internet lol... someone else should verify it.

Just to be safe I would coat your screens in a safe light area... it's not worth the headaches I don't think
