    Default my Screens are un-gluing.

    I just cleaned a few screens and noticed that the screen is beginning to "de-laminate" from the wooden frame. It hasn't gotten too bad yet. What should I put on the screen/frame to re-glue it in those spots?

    what are you cleaning your screens with? Under almost all circumstances that should not happen. I would return them if I were you. buy your screens from http://www.midwestsignandscreen.com, they are really good, I have some t-shirt ones I've been using for 10 yers now.

    I am cleaning them with emulsion remover, and then simple green.
    I use a "fingernail" brush and a sponge with a scrubber side (the yellow and green kind.)
    This is how I was told to clean them....but this is from the same guy who told me to burn an image on a QTX coated screen for only 45-60 seconds under 500w....

    Great

    that shouldn't happen using those cleaning materials. I would return them and get better ones.

    Teier screens are really good. A lot of people here use midwest for all thier supplies. I do, to the tune of about $80,000 per year, I love midwest.
