THEY'RE HERE...S Thread Statics

[Screened Gear]

This screen is easily over 6 months old. It has not lost any tension after the first week.

I think Kevin at River City is selling the 150/48 at around $26-27 but don't quote me on that.  I just remember being pleasantly surprised.

Tension on emulsioned screens?

Tension on emulsioned screens?

Emulsion doesn't change the reading much, if any.

OK these Murakami stock screens are interesting. Does anyone have a guestimate of a typical 160 Murakami S Mesh cost from them? I am afraid of jaw dropping pricing.

I bought mine from West Star Solutions. Only company I saw that was selling them online. Price was about $27 each. Tension isn't great, but the mesh itself is awesome. My 150s are in the 15-16 newton range. 200s are a little higher. I'll switch to shurlocs eventually. But until then, I'm only using s-thread statics.

28x38 EZ Frame 225/48 S Mesh

225 is 40 microns for S mesh. Standard mesh is 48. I know john knows this, but I wanted to correct it for anybody else looking for the info.

HI Allan B.

If I do get all the steps right in the murakami stretching instruction up to 24 Newtons before gluing the mesh with a stretching table.

Is it a good idea to let the mesh sit there for a day or two or massage is with a dough rolling pin then repulse it back to 24 Newtons then glue it? Or will it destroy the mesh fibres?

Thanks
Anthony

Thanks for the correction.
Makes me question our mesh selection now as I was told we were using S mesh

Just bought some 225-40 a few weeks ago. Such a great mesh count to have. 41% open area as far as I remember. Shame I forgot to mention in my order that I wanted yellow mesh. Bummer.

I'd point out too, if you have tried these (or other good statics) and had serious tension loss issues, you may be running too high of OC habitually.  Doesn't matter how nice a screen or good of mesh you have, you beat the crap out of it, you lose tension...
