quick question for people who have used a smoothing screen before. (not sure if this should be its own topic). i had a job, white on black, decent coverage area this morning. after reading this post, i figured i would give it a shot with a blank screen in there. i put a piece of teflon on the back and all. my issue was that after coming off the flash, i was getting pick up onto the piece of teflon. so much that it was starting to smear after a few shirts. i tried a longer flash and a shorter flash. any tips??
Yes - that is exactly the way people have been doing it. The difference is the use of the Teflon and the roller give you much better results.
Action (Eric?)How much pressure are they using with the roller? Are they using one roller or two like in the video?

However - you have made me think that if one is good - why not two? It seems at first thought that one of these could be attached to the squeegee bar and one to the flood bar- bar. Then you could roll both ways.
