if you are not familiar with the product, I have attached a link to the Greased Lightning website below:

Hi Hangman, without taking a closer look into the product you're suggesting, the answer would be definitely no
, this doesn't mean you can not use it as part of your reclaiming screen process chemicals in your shop, maybe you can but, the reclaiming screen process for screen printing needs the correct screen printing industry chemicals. You would be surprised how every little part of the process involved in the screen printing job tremendously affects the final task which is to print t shirts right? and print them easly, with quality and well done right!?
For ex, I used to do what you're talking about, I used cheaper chemicals that nothing had to do with the screen printing industry, and yes, they "seemed" to "work", but what happened to me is that I had pinholes issues on my burnt screens, also using those non screen printing chemicals, caused me "Fish eye" problems, and the worst thing they caused me was Ink Flowing Problems, and believe me, Ink flowing issues is the last problem you wanna deal with in your shop!
So the answer is no, so try this, CATSPIT offers promo codes for $ discount
