Just to clarify...Distilled water is not necessary to mix your diazo. Our company stance is if the water is safe to drink (no nasty bacteria) it is safe to use in mixing your diazo. If in doubt bottled water is fine as well.

Sorry about that. Our advertising dept decided that the health and safety information on the label is more important than directions... it seems. But typically we tell people to fill the bottle to the shoulder with drinking water (if safe to drink it is ok to use in the diazo.. does not have to be d...

how old is the emulsion? If it was mixed for more than 12 weeks it may be beyond its useful life. if it is fresh then you need to increase your time.

I have only ever seen finished screen frames at a craft store.

I have never seen mesh on a roll or by the yard.

Pinholes are caused by 3 things..
Coating too fast
underexposing
Dirt

Slow down your coating speed
expose longer
clean your glass and clean your positives
