Opportunity is missed by most people because it is dressed in overalls and looks like work. - Thomas Edison
I've done 7 years coating 2 over 2 with the SHARP edge and I had almost no problems with sticking.I also had ZERO EOM...or none to speak of!Now that I have an auto I'm trying for the elusive One Hit White because otherwise I'm stuck in revolver mode on some jobs. I have one flash and only 8 heads, so I REALLY need to get my EOM up. But this sticking thing is new, and it's driving me nuts.Before I had a dehumidifier in my screen closet, I used to spray the Fixxons films with Krylon Matt Clear during rainy weather. I may have to go back to that, but I'm not even sure that will work, its been so bad lately! And it's raining AGAIN this morning in Wichita. !@#$%^&*!! I've got to try either that whole cumbersome Matt Clear thang again, or new emulsion or give up on EOM. Or get my NuArc 2125 cooler somehow. Or drive to Arizona to expose my screens.I'm not big enough for a CTS or DTS or whatever the name is this week.
I'm in the same situation you're in. Ever since with the auto, my films have been sticking. Would a drying cabinet help?
All our screen making is out on the production floor, screens are kept in a light safe environment
Try this, first when you print your film print a mirror image. This allows you to put the slick (non printed) side of the film against the screen. Then lay a clear sheet of plastic film slick side up on your exposure glass, this allows the ink to be in contact with slick side of film facing light. This has worked for us for years.
Kevin, I'm using WR 25 (CCI) and my blub is getting old too. I've got a new one in stock, so what is my excuse?? Dunno.... Busy texting to convince a self-diagnosed Arrhythmic Musician not to give up maybe? Ahem.But I digress..... I think heat is definitely part of my predicament. That and I'm basically starting over dialing in exposures. And trying to hold low percentage dots.I wish I could see a video of someone using a Stouffer 21 Step Exposure Guage who knows how the heck to use it properly! Cause I can't figure it out. I wash out WR-25 from both sides and it utterly destroys any information the Stouffer might lend.
