Bayco 500-Watt Halogen Project Work- WALMART
I used a light like that for awhile. I got two 60w led black lights a while ago that work a lot better.
With the halogen lamp I was exposing for like 12 minutes. With the two led black lights 20 seconds . Also the halogen bulbs were constantly burning out.
Thanks for your instructional video. I already make it with a 50 w LED flood light (5,000 to 6,500 lumens white light). I will proof with Ecotex LED Emulsion. I let you know the results later.
Awesome vid...Where do you use the 18 inch and the 20 inch at? How far away is your light from screen? And also, what's your burn time?
whats the distance from the top of the frame to the light and time do you use to burn imagen? great job!
Still works good? And how many inches from the light to the screen?
hslogon light yellow white
Don't you also need glass? And some black foamcore to surround the bottom and keep out light?
Share your post on halogen light
Thanks for making and sharing this video. Do you coat both sides of your screens with emulsion? Do you use a light coat? I’ve tried a few times and either can’t spray out the image or it takes it all off. I wish I could get this to work!
Note: I didn’t use your light setup.
I hope your back is doing good.
Richard Axelson yes I coat both sides. The hardest part is figuring out your burn time for your emulsion your using. When the image is not coming out maybe doesn’t have enough time burned so just washes off emulsion. Is the image your using for transparency dark enough? I had a issue when on the paper I was using the ink was not dark enough so under the light it wasn’t anything to burn into the screen. So I switched over to using htv black for my burning method. Hope this helps.
Yes my back is doing much better! Thank you!!
Richard Axelson also let the emulsion dry for about a 45min after coating. After burning screen you will give a light wash on both sides of screen let sit for about a Min you will see the image you burned start to come thru then hit it harder pressure and will wash out only the image.
David Mendoza glad to hear your back is doing better!
David Mendoza I’m going to build your light setup. I’m going to try your transfer vinyl method because you might be right about not having a dark enough image .
I let my screens dry over night, then burn.
hi halogen light where did you get
Yo what size screen do you use ?
Cool. For the Halogen light, do I need to remove the UV glass filter?
Mel S no you shld be fine leaving it on
@@davidmendoza813 Awesome!! Would it hurt if I did take it off?
Thnks again
No I don’t think it would hurt if it was off
It's working well for you?
SpiderWeb yes works great I burn my screens for 6 min 30sec and they have been coming out great! Also check out my other video how I burn using heat transfer vinyl
@@davidmendoza813 That's brilliant. What emulsion do you use to burn the image. I got a Magma/Cure UDC-2 , Dual Cure Emulsion from Chromaline and i'm not sure about the exposure time - distance. They don't recon to use halogen light, they talk about LED lights and very short time exposure.
SpiderWeb dc 521 universal dual cure emulsion is wht I use. I’ve tried less time and doesn’t burn so 6min 30sec is wht works best for me
