So this week was a bust. My emulsion didn’t seem quite dry and for whatever reason I exposed it anyways. I also left it on for 1 minute too long due to technical difficulties.
I was trying too hard to come up with a solid design and it took me 3 days to come up with this, lol.
I will reclaim the screen tonight and try again. I tried to dry the screen in the basement and it is so cold down there. This time I let air flow in the box by not putting the rug on it but it just didn’t work out.

Thanks Andy,
I ended up putting it on a small open sided shelf in front of my dehumidifier and it dried beautifully in about 2 hours. I did it at night so there was no light from the sun at all.
I forgot to add my FB page and Instagram if anyone was interested in checking it out! also please feel free to link yours and I’ll follow you. 🙂

Hi Rachelle – the screens do need to be really dry – both after reclaim, before coating, and then after coating and before exposure.
Maybe look around and find a closet or cupboard upstairs, and put the screen in there – at this point, don’t worry about drying the screen horizontal – it can sit leaning against a back wall, just as long as no bright light/sunlight hits it and it doesn’t get bumped or brushed while still wet.
Design looks great!!!
