Rookie mistake on screen reclaiming help!

[noiseloops]

@mooseman yikes. Didn't know karcher was a bad product. Was really edging ok that one than the makita washer. Basically due it's product warranty.
Ill try the bleach option if its doesn't wash out.
@screenexpress well it was a torrid time or me yesterday as this is my first time reclaiming screens. The first one went well while the second and third screens were a nightmare.

Don't overwork it.  As long as you're not locking ink in the emulsion (from printing when emulsion was not exposed long enough), use an emulsion remover (basically Sodium Periodate), then a ghost remover for any stubborn spots, make sure you don't let anything dry before you wash it out. 

Some emulsions are so easy to remove where you need not much more than a hose and it falls off.  Others not so much.

Alright! Bleach and pressure wash did the trick. Phew! That's a relief. Thanks all!

They look beautiful.  Nothing like keeping something useful out of the garbage.

Another trick if you catch them right away is using a little caustic--either sodium or potassium hydroxide based cleaners will take care of just about anything--at the price of a very thin layer of your mesh threads.

Ahhh, sounds a bit on the extreme side though. Hahahhaa

Thanks anyway for the heads up!
