Worked great
Quality was great and imagine burn time was easy to figure out. 18sec for me and the image was clear and durable. Great value for my money

First time screen printing with emulsion
Love this product. I was very concerned because I've never screen printed with emulsion. This product was easy to use and I got the results that I wanted. Now I screen print large orders with ease. Removal of the emulsion was also easy with the emulsion remover. This is the product I will be using from here on out.

My goto emulsion
This is the best general purpose emulsion I've found at this price point to date. Keeps well in the fridge for months (just don't let it freeze, trust me!). Screens last in the darkroom for months after being coated. Reasonably easy to coat and reclaim. And it can be hardened with their emulsion hardner, for long runs or water based inks, which I've done on several occasions with good results

Great
Works as should. Keeps design in place as long as you get your exposure time right

Good emulsion
Covers screen evenly and dries overnight. Never a problem when burning art work to it. 30 seconds under UV light.

This stuff is the 'Crayola' of emulsion
I don't know what I was thinking buying this stuff. At work we use Ulano products, and I bought this stuff for home because it's cheaper. You really do get what you pay for. About halfway through my quart and I've had about a 30% success rate on screen washouts. This stuff takes forever to dry, and even when it appears to be bone dry, it falls apart on the screen during washout. It is not water resistant so you can't soak before the rinse. My success with halftones is even smaller, this emulsion cannot produce a clean halftone in the 40+ lpi range. Really, the only thing I'd use this for is big, large graphics with no detail, like player names and numbers for jerseys. But then again, spend $15 more and get Ulano or Chromaline and don't worry about your emulsion breaking apart right in front of your eyes 70% of the time. This stuff is seriously poor quality. Should've known when buying a brand that has "eco" right in the name. This stuff will actually cost you money and time in it's amount of failures. I wish I could 0 star this review.

I'm Shocked!
Whale, I really did not expect it to work.I coated four new 16x20 TECHTONGDA Aluminum Silk Screen, Screens with the Ecotex AP Blue Emulsion, and they turned-out like you'd expect some 61 year-old half-wit, to-do.My new 16" Emulsion Scoop Coater Tool was really about 16-1/2", so I used a loose-bladed hacksaw to cut two horribly weh-wah cutted scooper tray trough buddy-buddies.. Pooshing the plastic end-capp back-on, in a rickity reckshaw weeble-wobble fashion -so the Emulsion Goop could run-out the sides and drip onto the floor.. uh. (shakes ee's head)..I coated four new TECHTONGDA Aluminum Silk Screen Printing Press Screens with the Blue AP Goop, coating both sides as best I could with the new Fancy Scooper (waste of money? probably could uh used a piece of wood to do the same spread job, blah blah)..I let the screens dry in my bedroom closet, for two-days.. reluctantly awaiting the day I would attempt the "light" trick..I finally taped my Transparent Logo onto the AP Coated "Test" Screen, haphazardly tearing away my transparency letters TM (for trademark) and using a 99Cent Store IMO "Sharpie" to fake-in the TM Letters.. (uh..).I had NO IDEA how "long" to expose the screens to the light, and no idea "which light" to use...?I "heard" someone in one of the YT videos say they exposed their screens to only 30-seconds IN THE SUNLIGHT, which sounded way easier than using a 20 minute flood light of 500watt, special lighting, blah blah..I said, here, goes..and I walked into the sunlight by the pool, and counted to 30. one one-thousand, two one-shousand, three...Then I "hid" the Screen under my bed covers, and went for a three hour walk.....Wanting to nap, but instead dredging the screen into the garage -dreading the projected failure of washing out the nappy Blue..running the water..hey wait..it looks like my logo is appearing (water washing over the screen..)Grabbing the Big Handy Brush by the garage sink.. I scrubbed and scrubbed, and low & behold the Emulsion started peeling off in Globby Clumps (like Elmers Glue might do..)..I'll be DANGED!IT LOOKS PRETTY GOOD!Hmmmm. I wonder how that happened..?NOT BAD,I'm Shocked!next, I'll need to cut a piece of wood to become the surface for screen printing t-shirts.Oops, I made the Screen Backwards because I "remembered" to reverse the logo, so, this screen will need to be treated [special] because I reversed the wrong side, meaning the inner screen will not have the buddy-buddy luxury of a border facing me, instead the borders will be facing down on-top of the t-shirts.. ughnot bad for an old-f...don da-da don!Thanks Ecotex AP Blue, for Surprising Me with something that works!!!

GOOD EMLUSION! IF YOU PREPARE IT CORRECTLY BY...
This product is very good. No diazio to add and ready to use. I had many people ask me how to properly use this product because they always get over exposed or under exposed for their high detailed halftone transparencies. I use 2 and 2 coatings and letting it dry in a WARM/Ventilated dark room WITH NO HUMIDITY (Invest in a dehumidifier)Usually I'll let it completely dry for 4 or more hours. When it comes down to exposing your film positive; I recommend using a exposure calculator FIRST! There's free ones online you can download. I use a 500w halogen work lamp; 16 inches away from screen and film. With 50 pounds of pressure "sandwiching" the screen and film positive with a solid flat board on a piece of glass or anything clear and flat that'll hold pressure well.After exposing spray your exposed screen with water (I use a water spray bottle) and drench it. Repeat again a min or so later.Your image should be coming out by this time so do a wash out.... it should melt out like hot butter with no lose of halftone detail.
