- Write down the day you opened the emulsion on the bottle to better keep track of your chemicals.
Coating Screen / Drying
- Use the sharp edge of your scoop coater
- Make sure screen is completely dry before coating emulsion
- Make sure screen is completely dry before printing

- 86 ° to 104 °F (30 ° to 40 °C)

When you need a thin coat to bring out the halftone dots, this emulsion dissolves too quickly in water causing pinholes.

Shipped to me without sensitizer and bucket had obviously been opened already. Completely useless product.

After exposing it, it washed off and did not hold the image properly. I tried both short and long exposures. It did not even capture the exposure meter image - it just washed out. It was my first time using this emulsion so maybe I did something wrong when I mixed it. But it is pretty simple to mix it. The only positive side was it was really easy to reclaim (since the emulsion washed away without any reclaimer!) I have used other ecotex emulsions with good results, so maybe it is a bad batch.

Pretty easy to use. Just be ready to use it. Keeps good in the fridge, otherwise has a shelf life. Easily washes out.

The emulsion is great, sets well and leaves only but a few open spots, this could be due to the mesh size of my screen though, will be ordering a better fabric to work with to see if there is a difference. Once the emulsion sets and sets for a while, it becomes neigh impossible to get it all out with household methods and EcoTex emlusion remover. If you want to get a new design, remove the emulsion soon after exposure or it will be much more difficult to remove.

Got it in dec.2018, used quite often with no issues. Here it is may11,2019, pulled it out the fridge, and it still works good. Shelf life says 2 to 3 months with diezo added. Well it surpassed that and still works.

I can get about 10-12 full size screens coated with the qt. Holds up nicely to washing the ink out (dawn dish soap and water ) Still have a screen in use after 4 washings & the image is perfect. Easy to clean with emulsion remover and a regular hose (pressure washer is not needed)

This emulsion was great and super forgiving. It managed to get all of the designs even the intricate details burned in the mesh quite well using the sun as my light source. This is certainly a great buy.
