emulsion problem...

Post by Classic »

Good day guys!, this question may sound silly to some of you... BUT, I was coating my screen with the emulsion, once I was ready to put it on the cabinet... A drop of sweat fell over it...

How can you fix the screen without having to go through the all recovering process all over again?

Thanks in advanced!

I wouldn't worry about it. Maybe try to avoid that spot with your transparency, if it caused a big spot in the emulsion. It shouldn't hurt anything as long as you can fit your image in a good spot. Just give it plenty of time to dry. Lol.

If the emulsion is still wet just run the scoop coater over it again. You may have to increase the exposure time a little as you'll have a thicker coat of emulsion on the screen then.
