Pancake Mod - Screen printing / laser etching pancakes

Step 4 Preparing the Pancake Screen

First you'll need a screen, you can get a craft one from a hobby store. I like using my alluminum frames from rjennings.comrjennings.com because if I accidently rip the screen I can just replace the mesh.

• Wash the screen completely with any degreasing soap. Dish soap works well.
• Let the screen dry
• Take the screen to a dark room and lean it up against the wall so the side of the screen that touches the pancakes faces you.
• Place your squeegee against the bottom of the screen and pour some emulsion on it
• With a slow steady hand run the emulsion up the screen creating a film.
• Flip the screen over and run the still emulsion laden squeegee up against that side.
• Lay the screen face down (with the part that touches the pancakes facing down) on top of two pieces of wood so it doesn't touch the floor.
• (optional) run a fan in the room so it dries quicker. Remember the room should be very dark.
