please guys, i need to clarify some issues on exposing my images on merge (screen).

teejaypee:
it's mesh. What's your question?

jacko007:
please i was trying to expose my stencil on the mesh, after applying groundnut oil on it, i kept it under the sun for 15minites before trying to wash the image clean,but after few minuites of washing and sprinkling,the image started washing off instead of leaving the image area, bright. So i dont know my mistake please?

teejaypee:
you didn't expose it well.

It could also be due to a number of reasons:

*maybe the mesh wasn't properly washed before application. Presence of detargents can cause that, that is why you should rinse the mesh with plenty of water when washing.

*another thing is that there are different types of mesh which perform different Jobs and need different intensity when applying the emulsion.

*Exposure for prolonged period affects the mesh.
On a sunny day, a minute is okay...

Hope this helps?

jacko007:
thank you very much..i will try it again

teejaypee:
you're welcome. And next time ensure the emulsion dries properly before exposing
