Grant,

Use a solvent to clean the screen but do it outside! Acetone
solvents work good and seem to make less odor. The lye or caustic
solution is only used to strip ink from the etched board. Remember
that the screen emulsion is water based so you will not be able to
use any water based chemistry to clean the screen. Always wear gloves
as the solvents will really dry out your hands.

BTW, I have a photoplotter that makes negative or positive films if
you need help with your layout. It requires Gerber photoplot data and
aperture list or RS-274X Gerber data with the apertures imbedded in
the plot data.
