Opportunity is missed by most people because it is dressed in overalls and looks like work. - Thomas Edison
I would really suggest as well to test the most popular tees you are using to see if they are actually discharge that well. Something we should have done by now but haven`t and I regret it. Something on my list for winter this year. All those results will go then on our website with the actual garments so customers know right away what shirt in what color will work for discharge. Of course we are not going to do that for all tees we offer but at least for the 5 most popular styles.
Would like to get back in it. Are there any good tutorials to be able to be more comfortable doing it? My struggles were screen dry in, screen breakdown and of course curing.

Of course we are not going to do that for all tees we offer but at least for the 5 most popular styles.I've started creating a public database cataloging this type info, which can be found here:http://www.theshirtboard.com/index.php/topic,12269.0.htmlIt hasn't seen much interest yet, but I've been keeping it updated with my own findings and will continue to do so moving forward. So even if you don't want to participate, it may be worth a bookmark.
I did the same thing with emulsion. It got a bit of attention for a little while but has dropped off.We could combine the documents.
Done it before and failed at it. Well maybe not failed but discouraged so the inks have sat on the shelf for over a year now.Would like to get back in it. Are there any good tutorials to be able to be more comfortable doing it? My struggles were screen dry in, screen breakdown and of course curing.Side note: I have a bunch of CCI base and white and a complete line of Sericol inks that have been sitting for 18-24 months or so. Would it be safe to use? Most are unopened.
I love discharge printing when the customer is cool with the look of it. I'm actually thinking of doing a run of shirts where you print from the inside and have it 'fade through' on the outside as a fun group for my band.

Scott: any special notes to get it to go all the way through easier/better?
