hi.. i just wanna share something with u guys.if u interested with silk screen printing but dont have a complete stuff like photo emulsion and sensitizer,u can DIY it and the cost is cheaper then buy from the shop and i know some of u hard to get all the needed stuff.

things u need to prepare to make photo emulsion:

1. white glue (thick glue white color which u can buy from any stationary outlet with price as low as RM2 per bottle.
2. nila..i dont know in english it call as what but it used to color white tshirt.
3. Ammonium dichromate crystalline powder (potassium dichromate can be used as substitute)

2. mix white glue with nila to make it colored so u can make it looks like real photo emulsion  brows.gif
3. mix 10 spoons of ur DIY photo emulsion with 1 spoon of sensitizer
(remember do all in the dark room)

4. tadaa.. now u can use it like a real photo emulsion..its quality almost better than the real photo emulsion  thumbup.gif
