Yea, I coated up a 83/100 screen this afternoon 1/7 coats and got over a 400 micron stencil...yea I know it's not that important but you asked

That ought to cover just about any one hit white scenario I can think of, even on black 50/50.
102 Newtons?

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?
I've heard of coating a screen, drying, then building a damn out of tape or what have you onthe substrate side, then pouring in emulsion. Never tried it, sounds feasible. Difficult to gaugethickness though.

I've never had any Ulano emulsion in production, I've tried samples over the years but nothing I really liked enough to put into use full time. One of the emulsions that I really liked was around $100/gallon so you can see why I never pulled the trigger on that.
