THINGS TO KEEP IN MIND
- We recommend filtering the mixed emulsion with screen mesh before putting it on the squeegee to coat the screen. This will help you prevent pinholes and fisheyes
- We recommend cleaning the screen and the working area so that the coating is thin and uniform. Any dust particles could leave pinholes in the design
- The emulsion layer must be the right thickness. If it’s too thick, it will come out blurred. If it’s too thin, the print will be jagged
- Apply in a dark and closed place. You can use a red or yellow light bulb to see the process
- Store in a cool place away from UV light

INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE
- Wash and remove grease and any foreign contaminants with a degreaser
- When using SP-9500 emulsion, mix with diazo before applying it to the mesh
- Before use, stir the emulsion and leave it to stabilise for a day. Filter the emulsion with a 250T mesh to prevent fisheyes or air bubbles if you plan on using it immediately. When using Aquasol, leave to stabilise for 1 hour or until the bubbles disappear
- Slowly coat the screen with a squeegee to avoid air bubbles. When using SP-9500 and One Pot C2, dry the emulsion at 40ºC before placing the pattern
- Dry the screen in a warm room, but don’t use high temperatures to preserve the emulsion’s quality and stability
