The ink is not actually dry. This is plastisol ink for fabrics so it never dries until heat cured. It can get a little pasty or semi cured when using a flash cure during printing like with some of the screens seen here. The ink is removed with an eco friendly solvent made for plastisol inks. But a lot of it can be wiped off with just a rag before applying any solvents. Thanks for watching and commenting!

@Porto2192 You can leave the stencil in the screen mesh for quite some time. As long as you don't cause “screen lock" by using non-compatible chemicals or under exposing emulsion you should be fine. I leave stencils in the mesh for months or even years and then I can reclaim them. As long as the emulsion doesn't permanently harden it should be able to come out with emulsion remover.

That’s called emulsion remover or stencil remover. Check out the Catspit website for discount promo codes you can use online to purchase many of the products in my videos. Links are on the CZcams channel page. You'll have to check to see who will ship where. Thanks for watching and leaving a comment! ☠
Yes, paper towels. I have to still work out a better rag option for my shop. Currently I use very cheap paper towels to clean and work. The ink has to be removed before reclaiming. In this video I show that part because most of the time that is how screens will sit for reclaiming. The tape and ink need to be removed first. Then a solvent is used to finish up removing ink. Then you can reclaim, so 25 minutes includes all that for 6 screens. Thanks for watching!
6 screens in 25 minutes is pretty darn good. But what was with the paper towels in the beginning? I have seen all your other videos and I dont recall seeing you use paper towels before... It looked liked you were removing the ink???
I am using an emulsion remover made for screen printing. If you want to know the name brand, contact me through the Catspit website and Ill be happy to tell you what I am using. The link is on the channel page. Thanks for watching and commenting!!
@corenick20 That’s emulsion remover or stencil remover. Check out my video about reclaiming screens “expanded”. A pressure washer will help out a lot too. Thanks for watching and commenting! ☠
Remember, I have been doing this for a long time and I have all the tools and space I need to do it. But it is possible to commercially screen print in a home garage. Good luck and thanks for watching!
what did you spray on the screen to clear all the emulsions on it? wow it was like magic... please help me... can i get an online shop to ship to Italy?

Damn i've been cleaning stencils so wrong lol i always sprayed the ink remover, and then sprayed the hose on it smh now wonder my stencil always washed out. I see you're spraying it with ink remover and then wiping it down. DAMNIT LMAO i feel stupid
+franchisejr15 Yeah if I'm going to reuse the screen I'll clean it with rags and ink solvent. But if you want to reclaim then you can use ink wash and the hose to clean the ink off and go directly to reclaiming the emulsion. Thanks for watching.

THANKS TO CATSPIT , This video is good for beginners to start with correct way (me too)
It can. Imagine doing this all day. Some shops have enough work and screens to keep you very busy just doing this! Thanks for the comment!
