Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

For the price, this is a great screen printing kit for beginners. My kit arrived Sunday, two days ahead of schedule... I was amazed! I am lucky that everything arrived safe and sound; no open jars. I delved head in, and used the photo emulsion for my project. I am posting some photos of my silkscreen project, so don't forget to take a peek. This is what I did: 1. Went out shopping for a bug light, t-shirt (washed - no softener), pane of glass and had my art printed at FedEx Office. 2. Cleaned the silkscreen with Dawn and dried with a hair dryer. 3. Coated the silkscreen with the Diazo photo emulsion and let dry (4 hours+). Done in a dark room only lit with a bug light. 4. Taped my artwork to the bottom of the silkscreen and held it flat with the glass pane. Kept in box, away from light. 5. Took the box outside at noon and exposed for 2 minutes 50 seconds. Closed box and ran to the sink. 6. Lightly sprayed both sides of the silkscreen with water and waited two minutes. Then sprayed water at full blast to remove emulsion. Patted dry and took outside to post harden for 5 minutes. 7. Did the Balki Bartokomous happy dance. 8. Used painters tape to close gaps around emulsion on silkscreen. 9. Printed t-shirt and quickly cleaned tools and silkscreen. 10. I heat set the ink with an iron. Five minutes on front and 5 on back. 11. I washed the t-shirt again to test for proper heat set. It passed! 12. Wore the t-shirt and fooled my friends into thinking I had bought it. :-D
