Mini Silkscreen - Pattern #3

Our "Mini Silkscreens" are a little smaller than the usual silkscreens, but are great to expand your silkscreen collection at an affordable price. The care instructions are slightly different than our other silkscreens, due to a difference in the emulsion used in manufacturing.  

Please note highlighted areas below. 

Silk screens, size 56mm x 82mm , for printing in polymer clay, prepared especially with hobbyists and craft workers in mind.

Screen printing tips:

• remove mini silkscreen from the plastic carrier sheet (do not discard carrier sheet)
• use an acrylic paint with the gel/toothpaste consistency (my favorite brand is Holcroft),
• don't let acrylic paint dry on the screen,
• wash your screen directly after usage in cool, running water (acrylics get permanent when heated), add a little bit of detergent at the end
• if you put silk screen into water container after printing, check carefully your screen is not floating on the surface of water; it should be immersed completely, otherwise acrylic dries on the surface in contact with air,
• after washing a screen leave it to dry on the plastic carrier sheet and store on carrier sheet until next use. 
• be aware that some acrylic paints never dry on polymer clay - they enter into a chemical reaction with pc.
