Washing out screens just got easier.

mjrprint:
Get a dip tank, fill it with water, attach a fountain motor or something similar to agitate the water. Put your screens in there and let them marinate for a min or two. Wash out with ease.

Frog:
Especially in the days of solvent cleaners, I suggested a little degreaser like simple green in there as well.

I think he's talking about post-exposure Frog, though you might be as well?
Solvent cleaners, what's that?


I'm in the process of pimping out my screen room, separate washout booth,
post-exposure dip tank, the works.


Here's a question though, if you leave a screen in the tank for too long (I'm apt
to walk away from things) will it ruin your stencil eventually?

Frog:
Okay, washing out an exposed screen, I can dig that, in that case, I will share that I have always wet the screen, let sit a minute, and then actually rub gently with my hand and/or fingertips until I can feel the edges start to appear (or actually disappear)

A woman I used to work with called this process "creaming" but I think that she was just trying to sound suggestive and was flirting.

bimmridder:
I've left screens in my tank overnight (being the bonehead I am) and had them wash out fine. Andy might chime in on the final part of my comment here, but I think the key is proper exposure.
