Storing Screens that have been coated but arent exposed yet
« on: January 04, 2014, 09:43:48 PM »
I was thinking about making a box as I only need to store 8-10 screens right now, but wanted to know if there are any small racks out there available for a good price? Something that is light safe and small enough to save space in the garage..er shop :) Any ideas or tips you have would be great! Thank you! :)

If really limited on space, perhaps a cabinet under your dryer.

Here's some recently displayed DIY examples in one of our newest sections.

That rug really tied the room together, did it not?

Alas, I do not have a dryer. I dont have the space. For now I am am using the flash cure or heat press. I did buy a cheap cart from Harbor Freight that is just big enough to hold the frames. I may enclose it and put racks in it. I am also using the cart as my table top stand. I flipped the top upside down so I can mount the press to it. :)

This is a pic of our dry box, basically it is a plywood box using short pieces of PVC pipe set into the sides. Pretty simple and quick to make if you are kinda handy with a circular or table saw. The pipe pieces do not go through the side walls but you could build it that way, just plug the pipe to keep light out.

the other image is a 24 screen cabinet we have made from two sheets of 4 x 8 birch plywood .
