Hi Andy,
I silkscreened some blank dotcompanels too. You can
see the results here:
http://www.flickr.com/photos/matrixsynth/sets/72157594380269106/I had never silkscreened before, but I learned it from
this page:
http://www.skateandannoy.com/features/diy/screenprinting/The first times it dind't work, but you can always
clean screen or panels and start again. Once you get
the right proportions of ink, hardener and thinner,
it is pretty easy but very timeconsuming because
preparing and drying the screen takes aprox. 12 hours.
Than you still have to expose the screen to UV light
and if that goes wrong, you'll have to start from
scratch.
regards, Kris
