Emulsion for Glycol/Glycerine Enamel Print Medium
Posted: Thu Jun 01, 2023 12:35 pm
Hi!
I'm slowly getting back into screen printing with enamels on float and have read many relevant posts. I'm pretty much following Bert's advice as its so close to what I'm trying to do. I'm using Reusche or Reusche clear glaze (all of the Series 5 lead/cad free variety) with mason stains as my pigment/flux combo. I'm having great success with tests using Propylene Glycol and glycerine as Bert suggests and love that it is water cleanup as I still have nightmare over the pine oil I tried in the past. I now want to start moving on to emulsion-based screen making and stuck on the question of the best and maybe most forgiving emulsion (probably dual cure?) for the water soluble PG/glycerine medium. Any product suggestions?
Thanks,
Cathy
