"In this video, we're going to talk about photo emulsion. And, in this regard, you are making your, the surface of your screen photosensitive. And, it is important to remember, like any photographic material, it's light sensitive. It is highly recommended that you do this in a dark space. And any light that this stuff interacts with will begin to expose it. Every company does their stuff completely differently, please make sure you read the bottles. In this case, it's green. It is applied directly on to the screen like screen filler. It is even more important that it goes on evenly. Any bumps will affect your exposure. Apply it and make sure that you are evening it out on the other side. Once your screen has been fully coated, leave it in a dark, dry space to dry. How long the drying time takes will be affected by how thick it is, it has been applied on your screen, and how dry or how damp your drying area is."
