Review: I'm Shocked! - Whale, I really did not expect it to work. I coated four new 16x20 TECHTONGDA Aluminum Silk Screen, Screens with the Ecotex AP Blue Emulsion, and they turned-out like you'd expect some 61 year-old half-wit, to-do. My new 16" Emulsion Scoop Coater Tool was really about 16-1/2", so I used a loose-bladed hacksaw to cut two horribly weh-wah cutted scooper tray trough buddy-buddies.. Pooshing the plastic end-capp back-on, in a rickity reckshaw weeble-wobble fashion -so the Emulsion Goop could run-out the sides and drip onto the floor.. uh. (shakes ee's head).. I coated four new TECHTONGDA Aluminum Silk Screen Printing Press Screens with the Blue AP Goop, coating both sides as best I could with the new Fancy Scooper (waste of money? probably could uh used a piece of wood to do the same spread job, blah blah).. I let the screens dry in my bedroom closet, for two-days.. reluctantly awaiting the day I would attempt the "light" trick.. I finally taped my Transparent Logo onto the AP Coated "Test" Screen, haphazardly tearing away my transparency letters TM (for trademark) and using a 99Cent Store IMO "Sharpie" to fake-in the TM Letters.. (uh..). I had NO IDEA how "long" to expose the screens to the light, and no idea "which light" to use...? I "heard" someone in one of the YT videos say they exposed their screens to only 30-seconds IN THE SUNLIGHT, which sounded way easier than using a 20 minute flood light of 500watt, special lighting, blah blah.. I said, here, goes.. and I walked into the sunlight by the pool, and counted to 30. one one-thousand, two one-shousand, three... Then I "hid" the Screen under my bed covers, and went for a three hour walk... ..Wanting to nap, but instead dredging the screen into the garage -dreading the projected failure of washing out the nappy Blue.. running the water.. hey wait.. it looks like my logo is appearing (water washing over the screen..) Grabbing the Big Handy Brush by the garage sink.. I scrubbed and scrubbed, and low & behold the Emulsion started peeling off in Globby Clumps (like Elmers Glue might do..).. I'll be DANGED! IT LOOKS PRETTY GOOD! Hmmmm. I wonder how that happened..? NOT BAD, I'm Shocked! next, I'll need to cut a piece of wood to become the surface for screen printing t-shirts. Oops, I made the Screen Backwards because I "remembered" to reverse the logo, so, this screen will need to be treated [special] because I reversed the wrong side, meaning the inner screen will not have the buddy-buddy luxury of a border facing me, instead the borders will be facing down on-top of the t-shirts.. ugh not bad for an old-f... don da-da don! Thanks Ecotex AP Blue, for Surprising Me with something that works!!! ## Features - Simple and Easy - Our AP Blue emulsion is one of the best screen printing supplies you can buy.

I'm assuming some of the negative reviews may be due to wrong exposure times. I personally use the aun to expose the emulsion. On a regular sunny day, 45-50 seconds works for me. I can't comment on the exposure time with artifical light but it's definitely much longer. **Q: Can I expose this with sunlight and use this with waterbased ink? I just bought a pint and don't want to send it back.** A: Yes you can expose it to sunlight less than 30 seconds. Very important to have it covered in between the exposure time. Its also recommended to have a flat black board underneath the screen , to prevent any light reflections. A flat black poster board will work great. It can be used with water based inks after the screen is fully dried. When you're done printing wash of the ink don't let dry overnight , i will harder to wash off. **Q: Why does the description say presensitized and ready for use, then say to add sensitizer?** A: This emulsion is Pre-Sensitized and ready for use for Plastisol, UV, & Solvent-Based Ink. It will also work for short run water based inks. However, if you are printing high Quantities using water based inks you can add Diazo or use an emulsion Hardener to accomplish that. **Q: If using water based ink, how long would the emulsion last without adding diazo? What is considered a "long run"?** A: Without adding diazo or hardener you can get around +/- 200 prints depending on your design. If you mainly print Water-Based inks we recommend a Dual Cure Emulsion like Ecotex WR-Blue. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Emulsion, I Like It *by D***G on May 3, 2026* This emulsion works great for us.

Thanks Ecotex AP Blue, for Surprising Me with something that works!!! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ It works - after second try *by J***T on October 6, 2018* Dial-in your own exposure time based on your set-up. For comparison, I usually use speedball emulsion + 40W LED Photo/Video Light + 15 inch from the screen at 5 minutes. For this product, I found out that with the same set-up, the exposure time is at 30 minutes! That is my second try. On my first try at 5 minutes (based on my known result from speedball): the emulsion just washed away - with sink faucet water! I think the sweet spot for my set-up is at 32 mins for intricate designs. It is only fair that I have to give this product a five star. ## Frequently Bought Together - Ecotex® AP Blue Screen Printing Emulsion (Gallon - 128oz.)
