FAQs
How long should I let the remover sit on the screen?
Typically, the remover should sit on the screen for 2-5 minutes. However, this may vary depending on the type of emulsion and the age of the screen. Always follow the product instructions.
Can I use this remover on any screen printing mesh?
Yes, this remover can be used on all common screen printing mesh types. However, always rinse thoroughly after use.
Is the remover safe to use?
The remover is non-toxic and biodegradable, but it is still recommended to use gloves and eye protection and ensure adequate ventilation.
How should I dispose of the used remover?
Dispose of the used remover according to local regulations. Do not pour it down the drain.
Can I reuse the remover?
It is generally not recommended to reuse the remover, as its effectiveness decreases over time. For best results, use fresh remover for each application.
What if I don't have a pressure washer?
A pressure washer can be helpful, but it is not essential. A strong stream of water from a hose will work, but you may need to apply more effort and time to remove the emulsion completely.
What if the remover is not working after multiple attempts?
Ensure the remover is compatible with the emulsion used, and check the expiration date. Try different application methods or consider a different brand of remover.
Troubleshooting
Emulsion not fully removed.
Reapply the remover and increase the dwell time. Ensure thorough rinsing and consider using a pressure washer.
Screen appears stained after removal.
This may be caused by ink residue or residual emulsion. Use a haze remover after removing the emulsion.
Remover is not working effectively.
Check the expiration date of the remover. Ensure the remover is compatible with the emulsion used. Try using a fresh solution.
