printing wilflex yellow shimmer

[Croft]

Hi I'm having a heck of a time printing yellow shimmer over a white base , not much shimmer is coming through a 93 mesh, I'm about to try an 80 mesh ( my lowest) but to me the shimmer seems to be separating from the curable reducer base.

Any tips would be appreciated

When looking at  their offerings I only see available Gold Shimmer and Yellow Sparkle.
Could it be that you actually have the yellow sparkle? which is a large flake glitter-type product that requires a much coarser mesh (25-40)

yes yellow sparkle

There you go! The screen you want to use looks like what you have on your windows!

The "metallics" go up progressively in particle size, with their Liquid Gold and Silver passing through mesh as fine as 230, to the shimmers which recommend 86-110, to glitters with a mesh range of 25-38, and the sparkle, which is pretty much limited to 25

Your going to need a 25 mesh count, did some with a  silver glitter a few months back, and my advice to you is to buy a new 25 mesh frame, mesh and all.  I thought I was being smart buy ordering just the mesh and trying to use my roller frames man what a pain trying to get that thick mesh locked in.

And be prepared to be reminded of running glitters and sparkles for weeks and weeks.

And don?t try and coat that 25 like you normally do.

Do a 1x1 coat, let it dry then do a face coat. The mesh is so open that most thin emulsions won?t even bridge as the emulsion sags and falls out of the screen making quite the mess.
