This quiz will help you determine which emulsion you need for the project at hand.

Emulsion Instructions:
1. Add 50%-75% of distilled water to your packet of diazo and shake the container. DO NOT use tap water.
2. Pour mixed contents into WR-Blue and stir in diazo making sure it is blended evenly.
3. Apply WR Blue Emulsion to clean, degreased, and dried screen with a scoop coater. Be sure to use appropriate application techniques.
Note: Keep in mind you need to eliminate any UV light from entering the room. Work under yellow or red light to ensure the emulsion does not start the emulsion process early.
4. Allow the emulsion to dry on the screen, shirt side down, until dry to the touch. We recommend letting the emulsion dry overnight. Drying specifications can be found below.
5. Expose Emulsion. Time will vary depending on the unit, we have recommended times below. If not using the units mentioned below we highly recommend using an exposure calculator to help dial in exposure times faster than a trial and error method. You can find exposure calculators here.
6. Once you have printed with your screen clean the ink off the screen with Water-based Press Wash, differences are detailed below. If you plan on reusing this stencil do not reclaim it. If you are done with this stencil, reclaim the screen with Ecotex Emulsion Remover. Do not leave remover on the screen longer than a minute or the emulsion will lock onto the screen.

Doesn't get any easier than this. Follow the directions to mix Diazo. Consistent results. Would recommend using a step calculator to get your exposures right. Mine was DIY 50w LED 18" off deck for 6 min.
This emulsion performs great. Smooth to apply, exposed consistently, washes out precisely, holds detail through many prints, and reclaims without any hassle.
Perfect.
I love this product, and I happen to use it in a very cold place in the mountain town of Silverton, Colorado. The route app notified me when it arrived, but it turns out it had notified me a day late. Thus my emulsion froze sitting outside my shop all night. I don't think I bought the shipping protection but is there anything we can do?
I used to use Ryonet WBP until it was discontinued. I tried photopolymer emulsion but it didn’t hold fine detail as well. This emulsion performs like my old wbp and I am quite happy. The diazo makes the stencil sharp and true to what’s on the film. Easy to work with and coats well.
