Stencil	Solvent-resistant emulsion

Printing:

Print 1–2 strokes per layer
Flash between layers if needed
- Flash temp: ~220°F (104°C)
- Flash time: 5–8 seconds

Use low-mesh screens for high opacity builds
Use silicone mat or paper during post-press
Do not mix with non-silicone systems
Do not over-catalyze (shortens pot life)
