I re-tightened the mesh washed them with water and applied
some de-hazer an alkaline paste with this sort of grainy sand like texture covered the screen and was supposed to wait around 10-15 min before washing off but around the 8-9 min mark the mesh split.

looking at the broken mesh I could see the paint left over image still there..I worked it with a soft brush and washed the paint off so I know this haze does work.

where did I go wrong here I did this to two screen thinking the first one must have been some a one off thing.

Using a proper scrub brush, scrub both sides of the screen and immedietly rinse off with pressure.

If there is still a haze or objects blickibg the screen, re apply on both sides and let sit for 1 min and rinse. Sounds like the time sitting is way too long.

If it happens again, contact your sales rep for instructions or switch to another product.

Also possibe that paste is just to abrasive for your mesh.

Happened to us as well......
We now dilute the dehaze or make sure the mesh is wet before we put dehaze on the screen.

We use Chroma AD560 which sounds like what you're using. It doesn't stay on the mesh for more than a couple of minutes while we brush the stain out.

Works great for us.

I'd +1 suggestions to apply to a wet screen.

Keep an eye on what you touch your screens with, as well--a lot of the times, you put a good scratch in mesh, the caustic eats away just a tiny bit of thread, but it's enough that the mesh won't hold anymore.

Screen Foo has a good point.

Also, nothing like a caustic should stay on a screen for an extended period. The sit and it split by itself scenario had to be from the chem eating into a fiber or more fibers likely. Sometimes ya live with a stained screen. or eat it and remesh.
