Watcha gonna do with that stencil?
I've got a newman 102N with a 200 micron eom stencil waiting in the dark room for something special. That ought to cover just about any one hit white scenario I can think of, even on black 50/50.

Got a little HD project this morning. Ya know the thing that is hardest about these super thick stencils is getting them to dry fast enough without dripping but also smooth as in not too fast air movement. I'm trying my best to avoid cap film.
How's that PHW red for quick drying? Nice build up?

The PHW is the best emulsion I've found for building thick stencils. I haven't put a stopwatch on the drying times and we haven't had to coat a screen and turn it around quickly so I couldn't tell you with any certainty whether it's quick drying or not. I think the fastest we've turned one around was coating one at the end of the day and using it the next morning. I really like this emulsion and even with very thick stencils, you can see through it to line up jobs on press or using the mhm style film positioning unit to line up films. I don't see us using anything different than the PHW for our thick stencils, I'm very happy with it.
