We mixed our own for years, sodium metaperiodate, soooo much cheaper than buying emulsion remover, then we got the tank, and it is better indeed. We've switched chemical a few times, so I'm not sure what being used today, but they like it a lot.Steve
Love my diptank and would never go back. One or two people claim they hated the dip tank, but I feel like they must just really love working out their forearms, or they have peons doing it for em!

One or two people claim they hated the dip tank, but I feel like they must just really love working out their forearms, or they have peons doing it for em! We just found the stack method faster and we ended up with a cleaner screen, washout booth and everything else the screens touched, it was really a no-brainer. On this very thread we have people removing ink separately and just using the diptank to apply emulsion remover. To me that makes as much sense as filling a cup with toothpaste and dipping your whole tooth brush in it before you brush your teeth.<end hijack>Satti sells an emulsion remover powder in bulk.
Spray and scrub then rinse and repeat is a huge waste of water and out here in CA water ain't cheap. Diptanks and two part chemicals save me water and money at the end of the day. How much are those salts now.. they doubled in price a few years ago.
