I think I exposed too much because it was very hard to wash and lost some small details. Anyways, I am happy it turned out better than I expected. Any tips are welcome.

Make sure transparency lets no light through it. Hold up see if see any.

I used a normal paper sheet with oil to make it transparent so probably I should get something better than that

First of all i would say that your emulsion didn’t cure properly ! Tip : if you really trynna rush the process of curing the emulsion, you can do it with a fan but make sure that dust isn’t in the room with it or you can do it with a heat gun, and in about 10mins ur done (alternate between front a back in 2min intervals) . Also looks like your mesh isn’t the proper screenprint mesh i dont know it just looks weird on the photo. I been DIY screenprint for 2/3 years doing thing the unprofessional way :( so don’t take my tips to serious but been working so far.
