    I can't believe this is your first video!!! the editing is so lovely 🥹 I'd love to see how you use the screen!! and if there are any ways you've made your process more efficient over time!
  • @BruceLeef

    I've been seeing your videos on TikTok and was hoping you had YT! So happy to have found it! Would you be willing to make a video going more in depth on your small set up and how you manage it? I am very interested in starting up from home but thinking of using a light as an exposure unit intimidates me, then there's needing a wash booth, dark room, etc. Also, is there anything you'd do differently if you were to start all over? Tips to beginners? Thanks so much! I know I am asking a lot!
  • @sharpi22
    Do you have any tips for filtration for your washout booth? Where does the water go?
  • @martybell81
    Love this video! Thank you for sharing. Does it matter what type of pressure washer attachment? I didn't see it on your Amazon storefront
  • So when your done burning the screen it’s ok to rinse it in the sun ?
  • @marysabelg
    You mentioned to apply the emulsion to the scoop coater in the dark but there’s some available natural light in the video. Would you say having a little of natural light is fine? Or was it just for the video? 😅
  • Thank you for this! Do you use a degreaser before you start?
  • I’m looking to do smaller silkscreens like 5x7 and smaller how would I go about burning screens smaller? Can I make a large screen with the photo emulsion, cut the size I need before I burn them and then burn the smaller screens?
  • thanks for your videos. I followed all your instructions, all in a dark room, using PWR. but when it comes to washing with water to get my image. It was noticeable but I could never get it to clean up. I used a 30w UV lamp for 30 seconds and then 15 seconds and both attempts had the same result. Any recommendation. My first time trying to do this.
