Can I like this twice?? Hands down the most informative TUTORIAL out there, for screen printing. I’ve watched countless videos from many, many vloggers who provide a lot of click bait. This is part of the process and easily one of the most critical. FANTASTIC VIDEO!!
Getting into screen printing now. Messed up my first time coating emulsion on my screen today. I wish I knew your techniques beforehand. Going to re-try on multiple screens tonight using your methods and hopefully it helps! Thank you for this video. Highly informative!
Glad to hear! Seeing this old video makes me wanna make a fresh one but honestly not much has changed with the process or how I train people! There are lots of ways to do it but this method with two hands and a table seems to be the easiest to get a hang of. Don't be scared to rinse it out just to practice a couple times!
@@CoryatFloodway thanks, Cory! That's what I'm going to do to practice. Place the emulsion on my screens. Rinse and repeat until I get it right every time.
Little tips like wiggling the coater side to side to "cut off" the ink...so useful...might be obvious to people after a while and a few times doing it and seeing what happens up close ..but for newbies starting out ...like me... I wouldn't know to do that... I do now.... thanks
I notice a few screens with small black squares? What are those-repairs of some sort? (BTW, I LOVE the organization of your shop. The "warning" stickers, tables with markers as to where things go back: scale, etc. SO AWESOME. Me and my OCD brain would fit in there perfectly!
Thanks Tony! A place for every thing and a thing for every place. It makes the job a lot more relaxed when you have what you need and don’t need to find anything. Or walk anywhere. As for the black squares, those are patches for tiny holes! We cut squares of vinyl on our plotter and use them for temporary repairs. It prevents the hole for spreading further.
Jonathan Ornelas I got you. Definitely want to make a video about how much I hate the ink wall. Working clean is one part, but reducing inventory is the other. 👍🏼
My screens are 130x80cm and i apply emulsion like 1 coat in the back, 1 coat in the front, then i remove the excess from the front and then from the back. It leaves me a thin layer of emulsion both sides and i print on linear fabrics with reactive dyes, in many colors. What do you guys say about it, from your experience? I dont have any major problems with exposure or printing. Thanks!
Graeme Deroux The mesh tension! Usually they stay the same tension for a couple rounds though so a couple can be skipped since they’ll already have the current tension on them.
Rule number one....what I learnt & taught when spreading a screen with a (coating trough!), don't talk. You guys figure the rest out, you talk to much, too much talk leads to confussion.
Some people say 'practice makes perfect' but I think that 'process makes perfect'. Passing on the little tips is how I always wished I was trained. Experience isn't really a factor when you've got a great process!

Thanks Billy. I’m going to keep building on this style. More general tips than trying to present “the one best way” which doesn’t really exist haha.

Loved it Cory! Thanks man! I’ll continue to get tips from you as I continue to move towards a garage print shop. 🙏🏼
Thank you! Share what’s working for you too, never too early for that.
Very good stuff here. Thanks Cory!
my pleasure, thanks for watchin'!

I do now.... thanks
Glad to hear Daniel thanks for watching! That little zip and slice of the emulsion at the top is an awesome feeling haha.
Good video, I actually learned something
Stoked on that! Thanks for watching.
Good video! Where did you get the vinyl flaps from? Great idea
Amazon! Yes they are way better than doors or curtains.
great video.
Thank you!
Nice. Do you coat 110 mesh 1 x shirt side and 2 x squeege side? Did you coat with sharp or dull side?
1:1 sharp for everything here!

Video was dope bro!!! Keep em coming 🔥🔥
Jonathan Ornelas thanks buddy. Lemme know what you wanna see next!!
@@CoryatFloodway man im ashamed to ask. but i wanna know how to keep ink buckets clean! and the whole ink area clean! haha

I love it!! I am just starting out and this video really is educational. By the way I just found out we are in the same city? 😳 Go Jets Go!!!
Glad it helped! Go Jets! ps, we stay open late on the First Friday of every month, you should pop by!
Cory @ Floodway Print Co. Absolutely would love that!!! Thank you sir!!!

Sounds about right! I don’t bother scraping any excess though.
@@CoryatFloodway good to know, thanks man
What're you writing in the top right hand corner of the screen?
Graeme Deroux The mesh tension! Usually they stay the same tension for a couple rounds though so a couple can be skipped since they’ll already have the current tension on them.
NICE!!!!
Levite Apparel Not many things better than a rack of freshly coated screens 🙌🏼
I thought emulsion wasn't light u/v sensitive until it was dried?
SOCCER REVIEW That’s true, it’s not necessary to coat in the darkroom but that’s where our drying racks are, and right beside reclaim.
@@CoryatFloodway cool, thanks!
