Quick Question about exposure

[Ochtees]

So I did a single coat front/back at Lunch time. Let it dry. The next day at lunch i put a single coat on the back side, so making it a 2/1. I then let it dry over night. The next day in the afternoon I exposed it for 7.5 minutes. When i washed it out the front started to turn really light pink and milky, then my image blew out...

Also when I took my screen out of the exposure unit it REALLY stuck to the glass and I had a hard time getting my stencil off the screen...

Thoughts?

It sounds like there may have still been a decent amount of humidity in the emulsion even though it may have been dry to the touch. Although with a thicker stencil it will also be harder to fully cure the entire emulsion layer.

You may need a very opaque film positive and a longer exposure time. If the area you live in has high humidity in the air on a normal basis try to dry and expose the double coted screen in air conditioned conditions.

The “front” getting light pink and milky is a sign of under exposure sop there could be a combination of factors here.

I think it just had too much humidity left in the emulsion and perhaps it needs a longer exposure time.
