2. Application Tip: Coating
Screens with Emulsion
By Regional Supply

3. Items you'll need include:
• Stretched screen
• Degreaser
• Spray bottle
• Liquid emulsion
• Scoop coater with cap ends.

4. Step One: Degrease
If you are working with a used screen that is still
coated with emulsion, remove it with an
emulsion remover.
Before applying emulsion you need to clean the
mesh with a degreaser. Work up a lather on
both sides of the mesh, spray off with a hose,
in a sink, or using a power washer, and let dry
thoroughly.

5. Step Two: Coat
When your screen is clean and dry, fill scoop coater
with room temperature liquid emulsion.
Slowly apply the first coat to the print side. Coat the
squeegee side with one to three coats, depending on
the thickness required, ensuring that the screen
thoroughly dry between coats.
If you need a thicker coat, scrape off the excess
emulsion with the dull side of the scoop coater; for a
thinner coat use the sharper side of the scoop.

6. Step Three: Dry
After you have applied the emulsion, let your
screen dry horizontally with the print side
down.
Multiple coats may be needed as well so make
sure the emulsion is fully dry before you add
any extra coats.
Always dry in a dark room or cabinet with
temperatures never exceeding 110 degrees.

7. With these three simple steps, you should be
able to easily and correctly coat your screen
with emulsion before your screen printing
process.
If you have any questions about which emulsion
you should use for your project, check with
