anyone ever built a screen holder for emulsioning?
ericheartsu:
Are there any plans available for something like? Or anything that i should try and do while building one?
tonypep:
I have one. We call it the semi-automatic screen coater. Uses stainless l-bar and some knobs and uses a hydraulic cylinder from a hatchback found at auto supply store. It is awesome. I can't stand to see the "one hand on the screen the other on the coater" technique. Makes me nuts. Camera charging but I think Dave has seen it.

I just have 2 pieces of 3/4" x 3/4" wood screwed into a table and use that to lean the screens up against the wall in the screen room... has worked fine for the 4+ years that I've been using it.
never got used to doing a one-handed coat either.

The top is wall mounted with a piece of aluminium angle iron that grips the top of the screen. The bottom has the same piece to catch the bottom of the screen. Attached to this piece is a hydraulic shock from an auto supply store. This holds the screen firmly in place and accommodates different frame sizes. Downward motion applied to the screen releases it. A quick flip and you now coat the other side.
These have been made. Some even have a swivel so you don't even have to release the screen to coat the other side.

similar to this, 2x4 on the table with stops (screws) on the side and a block on the wall for the screen to rest against. . .
