FILL THE COATER: Under a safe yellow light source, pour emulsion from its container . Allow the emulsion to flow out to an even level. Make sure you have enough to coat in one stroke.
COAT THE SCREEN: Use the rounded edge of a scoop coater to apply an even coat of emulsion in one pass. The coater should be at least two inches shorter that the narrow width of your screen. Method 2:
Apply two coats on the printing side, then two coats on the squeegee side, wet-on-wet. After each coating, rotate the screen 180°. Dry the screen thoroughly. Additional coats can be applied to the print side to optimize definition.
CLEAN THE COATER: Scrape extra emulsion back into its container. Cover the container. Wash out remaining emulsion with water. Any remaining emulsion that dries in the coater can be very difficult to remove. Store the coater where the edged can't be nicked.
