- Check out the other videos I have on silk screening: • How To Silk Screen
This is the first video in a new/ re-done series so once or twice a week I will be posting a new. next step in the proccess of silk screening
i thought you needed to do this in the dark?
@ sive no awake is right the emulsion is suppose to be in a dark room tho i dont have a dark room i just close everything down and really dont let light hit my screen but another thing get a scoop coater the way your doing it, your wasting to much emulsion and too many drips that wasnt a good way to apply emulsion your suppose to coat it down to up with the coat 1 back side 1 front side and another 1 back side that works well for me anyhow hope this helps in your silkscreening :)
I doesn't have to be a darkroom.With most of the emulsions you can do the coating in normal, not too bright room lighting (artificial light, no sunlight). 2-3 minutes under such lighting won't do any harm. Of course it is advisable to place the silkscreen in a dark place immediately after it's coated. PCB making diazo photoresists (like Positiv 20) exhibit similar characteristics.
It would nice if the poster could explain the mixing of the emultion with the other chemical, amounts ,,actually showing how to mix. Waterbased? the T-shirt printed will not loose the print after washing and drying ?
Deff gonna start doing this
For the stickers what paper do you use? Would you be able to link me to it? Thanks!
Yo dude! What type of emulsion is this???
Hi! Do you not need to do this in a dark room?
Yes, it is best to do it in a dark room
How long Does it take for emulsion to dry?
He said about 1 day
good stuff man
where can I buy emulsion ?
Nice corona box
Do you actually coat your screens in light or do you normally use a dark room?
+James Barrett What we have been doing is doing it in like a dark room setting. Low Light because you will have to keep it in the dark to dry.
u waste to much emoulsion man is better if u aply whit a scoopcoater ;)
😐
This doesn't look like a dark room.. I thought photo emulsion was light-sensitive..
Please delete this video, it teaches bad techniques. Do a proper one instead.
Since you have judged it as bad, why don't you make a video showing the correct way?
Thanks for the videos, they are really helping. I see how to Modge Podge is definitely cheaper, quicker, and easier. I was thinking of starting off there, but after watch more videos on how to use emulsion I feel that I could skip the easier steps and just try out the higher quality screen making method since I don't need them in a pressing amount of time.
would you say that it's still worth doing the modge podge way just for the sake of learning and practice?
Jessie Andrews you are gorgeous.
@@lujitsu1251 Creeping in people in screen printing comments is gross
The name of this video should be how NOT to coat a screen.....
Well, since this video was taken 4 years ago, I believe you already changed to use a scoop coater which is more effective : )
If youre looking for a good introduction into screen printing, buy the speedball starter kit. Also, using a straight edge and a large fiji bottle you can make a perfectly good scoop coater. too much emulsion
worst way to coat screen.. just look at the mesh u created
Great video! Curious...which emulsion do you use?
My man am not trying to be mean, but damn bro ur so messy son
you waste a lot of emulsion..
I like this technique 🙏
Dude, are u sure that's how u do it 😅😂
can someone please tell me what the hell the point of this is? i mean really? i made a blue picture.. ive got to be missing something.
He is preparing a silkscreen. This is the first step --- you coat the entire screen with a photosensitive emulsion. When the emulsion is dry, you lay your image (on a transparency) on the screen and expose the whole shebang to light. Wherever the light hits, the emulsion will harden (like those drops on his desk, but hopefully in a thin, even coat on your screen) and your image blocks the light in it's shape; you then wash off the emulsion that didn't harden (because it was under your image), you are left with a screen that will only let ink through in the shape of your image.
And for the people who are complaining about this tutorial-- it's helpful to those of us who don't have a scoop coater!
thank you!
Casey Walker Hi Casey, a question.. do we need to apply the emulsion in a dark room? thanks.
Dino Hafian - it is best to apply the emulsion in a dimly lit room, especially if you're a beginner and don't move quickly (if you have access to a photography dark room, that is great. I just work in my basement with as few lights on as possible). Once the emulsion is evenly applied, you'll want to set it to dry someplace very dark. Since I work in my basement, I prop my screen on a crate with a fan underneath, and I make a blanket fort over it to help ensure nobody accidentally exposes my drying screen by flipping on the lights ;-)
Thanks Casey for the advise!
Be nice if we could spray on the emulsion with a spray bottle and spread afterwards to not waste.
Who cares if he dosent get up some people do stickers and some people get up. Its all about what you want. Also i bet he makes better stickers than you even when he uses crayolas. If your a rich kid and get molotows for everything nice job but most of us arent rich.And you think he wastes paint? He has a better style than you. Put up videos of your style and then start talking
Awesome! I'm getting a screenprinting kit for Christmas and your videos help so much! Thanks!
Oh yeah, everyone saying "this doesn't work, don't listen to him" Sive's a boss. He prints MANY stickers and shirts using this method. So, seriously, there are different ways to do this. There's MI wrong and right way.
Only because it works, does not mean it's the right way to go. You wouldn't drive on the motorway in first gear, would you? And if you are going to learn how to silk screen print, then please learn it the right way and then start experimenting, not the other way around. Coating professionally is even much much easier and yields much better quality! So I don't get your argument at all. Some issues I see: He wastes so much emulsion. I can do four or five screens with the amount he wastes using this technique. Not only applying the emulsion, but he will also wash away half of it *after* exposing. Beside that, those screen take probably 8 times longer to dry than with a proper coating. He's making a good mess. With a scoop coater and good technique, you can coat a screen with only a few drops dropping on the ground. The emulsion is too thick and you risk that it just falls off when printing. The layer should be wafer-thin.
This is pretty off topic but I wanted to say this to ensure that you'll see this, but how long would an order from 33third.com take to get to Oklahoma? I just moved so I have no Idea
Maybe you should try putting it on like spackle.
Yo nice vid, make another when it drys and do a how to of how to place the image on the screen, i always have trouble with that.
What if sive is rich? then he can do whatever he likes if he bought it.
very messy
most hilarious muck up and am sure he produces 'artistic' results lol
So, for the life of me, off all the steps, I cannot use a squeegee to spread the emulsion. No matter what I do, it stays where it lands and when I try and spread it with the squeegee, the emulsion dosn'rt move, no matter what angle I scrap at. HELP!
Highly recommend a scoop coater, worth the extra investment
@@S1VE That was what I learned on, same issue. There is always at least one empty patch on every screen that I cannot cover no matter ho many times I go over it--whcih then builds too many layers. my only solution was to try and cover it with my fingers. Disappointing because I was ecited about my design ideas but this screenprinting thing just not working for me I have wasted so many screens. But thanks fortaking the time to respond
I guess I need the learn this process I'm old school and draw my image on the screen
i know haha but i hate it when people say 1st 2 haha
@IIAWAKEII You don't need to be in a dark room when applying when it's wet, but the screen needs to dry in the dark
e vc usa emusao e sensabilisante ja misturado ?
Não, acho que teve que misturar as duas
So? people waste food people waste shit.
I just got a speedball intermediate screen printing set. If I am just using vinyl stencils on it do I have to put the emulsion on it and how often do I need to apply the emulsion? thanks
If you’re using vinyl for the design you don’t need emulsion at all
@@S1VE thank you for your quick answer...Cant wait to get started at my screen painting
Where do you get your emulsion and how did you make the screen ?
good good
beautiful colour
DO NOT
1st hahaha ;)
what happen if I just do 1 side only when coating it
it will prob not hold onto the mesh well enough and fall off the screen
@@S1VE thanks after I burn image can I walk outside to wash out ???
@@cindycastro6103 if youre quick but it is definitely better to wash out in the dark too. At the least wet it first and then do the full wash out side
Messy method but effective
