CLOGGED SCREENS

<< < (2/6) > >>

BP:
I think Blue Moon is right. I use Orange as well. Try a wet rag to wipe it.

3Deep:
I've had scumming in screens from not rinsing the screen good or not towel drying the water out the open area, what has work for me is spit believe it or not ;D just wet my fingers and rub the area, crazy yeah but it works ;)

yes, water will get it out as long as it's before you put ink on it. Once it's inked, water does not work . . .

Frog:
And scum is usually visible on a new, clean, dry screen once one knows to look for a slight irridecent sheen.

I knew about the wonders of 'spit', but didn't know it can be done anytime before being inked.  When it has happened to me, I'm usually frantic to get it out before the screen has totally dried.  Tks.
