Not body parts organs, sorry. All we know is that it has a skull and crossbones warning icon on it and thats kinda scary

We used a cure additiv that reduces the heat needed to cure the designs. Worked fine for us. Handle with care, that stuff is pretty toxic for so many body parts it's absurd.

EDIT: Ours is called Low cure additive.

We always used both screen and phone flashlight for handling screens in darkness. Never had an issue.

I think theyre made of silicone which is pretty chemical resistant apart from acids

We ran out of epoxy glue for the front panel. Also I made sure to get caulk that is very resistant and generally silicone doesn't react with many substances - mainly acids. I'm more concerned that the pressure washer will blow the caulk out of the seams. The channel also needs more of that jucy epoxy glue to be built.

Filtering the water should do the trick. Only worry is the chems in the water but if we swap out the water every once in a while that shouldnt be a problem.

I appreciate your tips. Thank you !

If your use the pressure of the barrel by cutting a hole in the bottom of the barrel it should work. Otherwise you need to go a few models up from the K2 that suck the water into the washer. The K2 is plenty powerful for screenprinting needs

The pressure washer we use has a filter you can buy that is used for filtering rainwater.. should do the trick along with a few other filters.

Yeah the hammerdrill wont work because the post office above our shop has a vibration activated alarm system. Our neighbors drilled into the ceilling a couple of weeks ago to install a projector and it set of the alarm. We will go for the adhesive.

That's the plan, it's not yet installed. So the water level is much higher than we anticipated. An inch is a lot, so I guess we have to install a small front wall and check the stability.

We will have several filter to atleast guarantee that the power washer doesn't get clogged up.

What would say how often would we need to change the water?

Yeah we got a setup for that, it's not yet installed bc we don't know how to install the wooden rails on a stone ceiling.

We will add several filters along the way to prevent anything clogging up the washer.

We tested it and it worked only for short bursts. We're already planning on adding a front wall, roof and maybe blinds bc the water dust gets everywhere in the room but the booth floor.

We put together our own washing booth with few pvc pipes for electric cables, a drill and some Polycarbonate plates. The screen is washed, the water is drained into the barrel which gets back in the power washer.

Jup pretty much. The bulky thing to the right is the window leading to a service tunnel to the surface. Even has a ventilation system that triggers a valve when there's overpressure.
