That's awesome thanks, let me know any topics you want me to cover!

How many watts is your metal halide bulb in your exposure unit? I use a 400w metal halide bulb, 20x24 screens take 8-10 minutes to expose.

[@elevated-apparel]

I expose in 7 to 20 seconds with a led exposure unit.

[@matthewmanning8413]

I expose mine for 12 mins and it works great, it's a 10Whatt UV LED lame.
Might be waYYYYYYY tooo long for most but works perfectly for my little home setup.

Hey, yes. My time changes throughout the year too because I have a metal halide bulb, so it's best to measure light units. Not a lot of people have the ability to do that though so everyone will have different times.
