"He who marches out of step hears another drum." ~ Ken Kesey
If youre coating multiple times a day you need more screens and more storage space for coated screns. I had a similar problem a few months ago and just upped my stock of screens and built a screen room finally. Fixed so many headaches...

I fought with this for years, but finally settled on this;When coating, I have a wet paper towel at my side to take care of any drips that may happen and to wipe the edge of the coater between screens. When finished I use my good old index finger to scrape out emulsion into the bucket. I wipe my finger with the wet towel. I then go the the reclaim booth and wash my hands with warm water and spray the coater with emulsion remover. I use the same paper towel that I have rinsed out to wipe the coater...then a quick rinse of water and it is clean as new...no dried on old emulsion.I don't coat more than once a day...usually not more than once a week. So this may not work for shops with higher demands.Bill
depending on the emulsion you're using, oils from your hands/fingers isn't good for it, or at least that's what I've been told for years by different people.
