haha! i know i forgot to click the mute button on that section! it took 5 hours to upload so i cant be arsed to do it again!
i soak the paper in water for at least 20 mins......then take it out and let it dry slightly, so its damp....this way the moisture in the paper soaks up the ink thus giving nicer lines.

Great tutorial! We don't get to see many fun ones like yours
I couldn't hear you speak whilst applying the ink and wondered what you soaked your paper in and why?

Yes, I like it when Mitsi was going through the list of materials you need and at the end she says, with that look in her eyes, "and a car."

that's great, it is, but I have to say I was laughing out loud when you said, "and then you run over it with your car..." You're a doll!!!

So once i have my image printed onto transparency film, I take my Ezscreen silk screen which has been coated in light sensitive emulsion (These sheets come pre-coated so they are ready to use). Place it onto a black board, then place the transparency image on top (this part needs to be done in a dark room with no direct sunlight). I take it outside and expose it for 1 minute and 40 seconds (but time varies depending on time of day and strength of sunlight). After i have exposed the image i place it into a tub of water for around 5 - 8 minutes. Then i rinse the screen out under fast running water until the unexposed area (the black) washes away. I then expose the screen to the sun for a further 20mins to completely harden the light sensitive emulsion.
And this is the completed screen ready for printing. I simply use an old credit card to spread the ink over the screen making sure i do one complete full stroke across the screen (holding the credit card at a 45 degree angle). I immediately wash the screen out under fast flowing water and pat dry. I use fabric screen printing ink which washes out in water (which makes the process easy).
I love this product, their website is http://ezscreenprint.com/ (for full instructions and details on how to purchase this awesome product).
