I second Steve, we never underbase metallic inks, we just use a 110 or 86 mesh count and pfp using a 60 duro squeegee.darryl
yup... it'll definitely tarnish after a bunch of washingwe've overcoated with Wilflex Soft Hand clear with good results.
110S here, double stroke and forget about it.Steve
I'm using Union ink Ef bright silver shimmer, and textac adhesive.

One thought for the OP, for me personally if I didn't have "S" mesh I would still run it on a regular 110. I just am not a fan of how a 86 P/F/P feals.

S mesh is reference to Murakami Smart mesh. Look it up on here, provides larger openings, better detail, and works at lower tensions. Great stuff!
I ran the job, worked just fine doing the print flash print as recommended. This was done on a 110, probably do need to invest on a screen with a lower mesh count for the future. I'm sorry but what is the "s" or "t" in the mesh count mentioned? And I love the textac adhesive, but as mentioned twice already in this thread it did leave a lot of fabric behind requiring me to clean the pallets and Re Glue. I already have a spray adhesive, good to know that's what I should use for the future. Just stopped using it ever since I got the textac.
Union specifies something like 65-85 as a mesh count. That's really coarse! If that doesn't cover with a p-f-p, nothing will.I have never gone coarser than 110, but have only used One Stroke and IC shimmers.I have underbased, and not underbased, and have still not decided which looked better (and justified the extra screen as I usually do pretty short runs)

Maybe I was thinking of liquid silver. I was thinking the shimmer was the very fine particles.If shimmer is like the standard medium flake metallic, I think 150/48 would be a little rough. Seemed like even 125/70's would 'filter' it a bit.Can always get lower counts in S (or whatever thread)
