Lacquer blockout is ideal for water based, poster, and enamel inks. Use with permanent and water-resistant stencil media. This blockout dries fast, but is easily removed with SYS-1925 Lacquer Thinner or T-988 Acetone. Thins with SYS-1925.
How To Use Blockout
APPLICATION:
Place your screen, print side up, on a flat surface. Start with the side closest to you. Use a squeeze bottle to apply enough blockout to cover the length of the screen on the frame. (This prevents the blockout from leaking through.) Use a plastic applicator squeegee or a rectangular piece of 14 ply cardboard to scrape the blockout across the screen. Be careful to smooth any ridges. Turn screen 90 degrees and repeat the process. Allow to dry for 15 to 20 minutes.
TOUGH UPS:
Use a fine point red sable or high quality synthetic spotting brush. Thin the blockout with SYS-1925 Lacquer Thinner. This makes it easier to work in tight spaces, and the alcohol makes the blockout dry quickly.
RECLAIM:
Lacquer blockout washes out with SYS-1925 Lacquer Thinner or T-988 Acetone.
