Third Step

Ok now that you got your screen with the dry photo emulsion and you have your design/artwork on a transperancy you are ready to burn the screen. That means we need to expose the silk screen emulsion to light.
You will need:

1. A piece of glass that fits on your screen.
2. Black cloth.
3. A lamp with a 150W clear incandescent bulb or a BBA No.1 Photoflood bulb.

-Now place black cloth on top of the table. This will prevent the light to reflect back and ruin the exposure of the design to the silk screen.
-Set your artwork on the screen with a sheet of glass over it. The glass will keep your design in place during the burning.
-Place the screen with the design and the piece of glass on top of the cloth.
-Put the exposure light about 1 foot above the screen.
-Expose the screen for about 10 to 12 min.
-When done take the screen to a sink or tub and spray with water. Preferably mist. Rinse it off until you can see your design through the screen.
-Let it dry for a few minutes.
This steps are crucial. It will be the toughest part of screen printing. Hopefully after a few tries you will get it.
