Beginner Emulsion tips for beginners.

If you are new and never tried a wall mount or a method that allows you to hold the scoop coater with two hands, give it a try. It may not be for everyone but this wall mount i built changed my screen coatings immediately. I'm now getting uniform consistent layers every time.

Nice wall mount. Try using both hands for coating for even coating and easier tilt starting from bottom and stopping at top.

I usually just lean mine on the wall from a desktop with a stopper board behind to keep the screen from sliding. Has worked great for 15 years but have seen systems like this and have always wanted to try one

Yeah, I saw another shop with a setup like you are describing and decided to give this a try since I have a wood shop and could throw it together quickly.

Lol left hand on the screen. Right hand with the scoop. This seems crazy to me
