Cause Solution

 

Dust or dirt on screen or in coating trough.

• Keep area clean.
• Degrease with Xtend Prep 102/300
• Replace lid on emulsion when not in use.
• Keep coating trough clean and covered.

Air bubbles caused by coating screen too quickly or air stirred into emulsion. • Slow coating stroke to ease friction between coating trough lip and mesh.
• If stirred, allow enough time for bubbles to dispel.
Emulsion coating too thin for mesh mesh count. • Re-evaluate coating thickness, add another coat of emulsion.
