We don't need to do anything to Aquasol HVP and we do not add diazo.   Since we use emulsion to blockout a post expo is necessary for that but the stencil itself doesn't seem to need it at all.

Hardener is more of a helper/security blanket on long, long runs and it takes a whopping 30s-1min to apply when you feel like you need or want it.  I use it primarily on flatstock runs with the more aggressive WB inks and very thin stencils there.

Understood but thats a $480 month increase for a product that is no better than what I use. Rather spend that money elsewhere.
If it ain't broken for you thats fine too.
Tony, quick question, do you have to use a hardener?  With Nova you do not.  So therefore no extra cost in materials, labor or time.

Just asking.  Merry Christmas

Have a hardener but haven't opened it in four months. Its for the 5K+ DC jobs
