Touching-Up Glue for Silkscreening T-Shirts

Video Transcript

"AMANDA CLAIRE: All right, so pretty much done with all the glue but I'm going to do one last little step obviously clean my brushes but there's some water in here so I'm not really actively cleaning them. But the last thing I'm going to do before I really let it dry all the way, and I guess I don't really have to do it right now you could do it later, but I'm going to hold it up to the light and I'm just really going to inspect it and see if there's anywhere where I can see light shining through really easily. I mean you have to get a feel for looking at this because even where the glue is, once it's dried, like around here the image, this glue is dry so I can see through it. But if you look really, really closely you can see there'll be some little holes or some little pores where light is shining through a little bit better and that means it hasn't quite sealed up there. So what I'm going to do is kind of before I let this finish drying--I'm just going to kind of inspect, you know, definitely this big field of area here where we don't want the need to go through it all, just look for any holes that aren't filled in. But especially around the image just look for little pores, little holes that should be sealed with glue that aren't and if you kinda hold it up to the light you can see that but I'm just going to correct those little mis--I mean they're not really mistakes, it's just places where the glue didn't really fill in as well as it could. And then once all that's done, then we'll let it dry. So that's what I'm going to do now and I'll probably just use my fine tip brush just because--well mainly because you know when you're just correcting these little mistakes it's usually just a very, very small area and maybe just a few little pores in the fabric that haven't been sealed up. So I'm going to use my fine brush and kind of let's see a few little ones that I'm going to fix. So I'm going to do that now and then we will dry the screen."
