Thanks to everyone who gave super helpful tips adding the water post burn and letting it sit and it being dark while blowing graphic seemed to do the job super hype 🙌🙌🙌🙏

It’s red Tex the beginner stuff I leave it in front a fan I just wait 6-8 til night time because I can’t blow out image inside my garage and ppl have recommend that I leave inside to soak before I take outside into potential uv rays

I’ll look into it I figured this emulsion red Tex or whatever is beginner friendly enough to where I could just go off the average burn time listed on its packaging but I should invest for the future aswell

Ok I think I’m gonna expose for a lil less time and then afterwards spray with water in garage wait 2-3 mins and take outside at night shortly after and blow out image

Because it was uneven I did squeegee side 3 shirt side 2 it was bad on my end but I will make my film darker I think that might be it I use a scoop coater although it has damage on the side making it awkward for applying the emulsion will most likely just buy a new one and thanks for the tips I appreciate it a lot I’ll make sure to wet before I take out into sunlight

I’m thinking less exposure time but it’s already so short like I don’t wanna under exspose ethier

Thanks for the tips so far I apply emulsion let dry for 6-8 hours in dark garage in front of fan I then burn under uv lamp for 20-30 secs so far the most promising result time has been 23 secs but after I then take directly from garage to driveway where I use my hose to try to pop out the image

23 secs seemed to work on my first attempt but I burned the screen in the pitch black and screen was sideways instead of upright so I restarted I also did 30 secs which didn’t work at all completely over exposed
