Opportunity is missed by most people because it is dressed in overalls and looks like work. - Thomas Edison
I would also like to point out the sample quart of the Orange we tried was a lot thinner then the 5 gallons we purchased. I dont know if it was just a fluke the sample came out of an un mixed bucket or something but the viscosity was much thicker out of the 5.
Had some issues today with the orange, the thicker stencils aren't going to be as easy to achieve and maintain as with the PHW red. Here are some pics of a screen that I was trying to do a color change on and the emulsion delaminated from the mesh rather easily. I've done it before with other emulsions but not quite this easily. This stencil is very thick, an 83 mesh count that we use for a "one hit" light tan in on a military green shirt. We previously had to underbase this with white or sometimes we'd use the light tan as the UB and flash and hit again, but this mesh count with the stencil thickness allows us to print with one stroke and move on. Here is the screen as I was trying to take the ink out of the screen so we could store the screen for the next time we print that job, about a week or two from now.This screen printed great, no issues until I started rubbing the shirt side with a rag and some press wash.
No trouble always looking to improve our operation. I know if Megan coats and we use those times the image either is a bitch to get out or wont come out because the way she coats is diffrent and the stencil is not as deep.
That is a PHAT stencil! I think I need to up to 3/3 on my coating. The emulsion I use only has around 39% solids. Either that or change emulsion. Has anyone used the orange for discharge? I am going to coat some kiwo discharge emulsion this weekend and see how that goes
