After you must have circulated the mixture with your skeegee, use your hand dryer to dry the substance on the mesh... photo below of me drying my substance on the mesh.. 1 Like 1 Share

for those asking about the cost of starting the business. I will tell you the one for screen printing now, and when we get to digital stage I will tell you about that one. for the screen printing one needs about roughly N5,000 (Hand dryer inclusive). And the cost of materials depends in your location. you can get materials cheaper in Abuja than Lagos. But I will use Asaba as example. Mesh--- N800 skeegee---N300 Hand dryer---- N2000 (depending on the type you want) jik -------- N250 emulsion ---- N300 (depending on size) Screen printing paint ------- N300 (depending on sizes) kerosene--- N50 sensitizer----N250 5 Likes |

I have re-uploaded the photos of the materials we needed for the tutorial. please go to the first page but would still bring it back here... with the photo below .. The yellow stuff that has a handle is the skeegee. the content inside the Eva water is the kerosene. the paper that has the "farewell mama" is your artwork. that big wooden stuff under the paper is your mesh. You can see you jik. the white small container with a blue cover head is your emulsion. the other long pink container that looks like small bottle of alcohol is your sensitizer. then the white container in your screen printing paint. please permit me because the updates if this thread would be slow daily. I will be updating at least once in a day. I am currently serving my country. I am in NYSC orientation camp so I have some limitations but will try updating this thread. But keep your questions coming.

onismate:plz, I want to correct something here. After applying the mixed emulsion and small qautity of sensitizer to the mesh, you should dry it wth dryer or leave to dry in dark place, cos expose to light at this stage, it will got spoilt. 2 Likes |

Again.. Note that mesh is of two types: 1. Mesh 90 and 2. Mesh 120. And from my own understanding mesh 120 gives neat work for tiny right ups. 1 Like |

The big question is, how does one source for business then considering the fact that he's just a beginner? What are the smart moves and the targeted channels a beginner can go loby for contract and hopefully get same? More questions coming. Meanwhile, i'm still following the thread bumber to bumper. Well done Sir! 2 Likes |

permanentgrace:when I was leaving the place I was working after everything before coming for NYSC, my Oga, the owner of the business center gave me one important advise even when I have heard it couple of times. he said he admired my humility and tenacity. I never looked at the money he was paying, I focused on what would benefit him and make him happy. I will advise that you should discover what will make you happy and give you fulfillement. That doesnt mean you shouldn't think of money ooo. 3 Likes |

Tutorial continues..... After using your hand dryer to dry the surface were the content was spread.(Dry it front and back). After it must have dried, take your printed art work, turn it upside down and place it on top of your dried mixture on the mesh. After that, add kerosene on top of the paper on the mesh. Make sure you spread the kerosene very well so it would circulate and saturate the paper... photo below.. 1 Share

After circulating the kerosene properly on your artwork, carry it to the sun. Note, how long it stays under the sun depends on the amount of sunny the day is. Why we are placing it on the sunlight is for our text transfer to the mesh. so for this particular mama ngbaku's work, I left it on the sun for 12 seconds. photo below.... 1 Like

onismate: Bro, let's be truthful to ourselves. Money is the reason we all hustle everyday and on everything. So there's no way we can write off that money-making-consciousness away from us unless we want to pretend. Happiness or no happiness. After all, those who turn and lift concretes wont tell you they are happy doing such but because they need to make money. In Nigeria, who is looking for what will make one happy when survival is the main hustle? I doubt if over 80% of Nigerians do what make them happy. 2 Likes |
