If you use the proper discharge paste for screen printing then it will never eat up your screen. But if you use other products I can’t guarantee they will be safe.

Hi,
What a fun tutorial. I am mainly a henna artist but started drawing my designs on fabric by putting the paint in a henna cone and hand-drawing each item. It’s a lot of fun, but I want to make the process less time consuming so I can produce more work. Which is where silkscreening comes in. I started making screens with drawing fluid and screen filler. This is definitely the way to go!

Have you tried using bleach paste to discharge a design with the screen-filler stuff? I have had good luck hand-drawing with the paste, but am worried it’s going to eat my screen.
Thanks!

Very nice paper stencil “how to” post! I love the subject matter. I have yet to do a video about paper stencils for screen printing. It’s an easy, fun method for home and hobby. Thanks again for sharing!

So happy to find you! I’m an argentine designer who’s just started to dig into silk screening and fall in love with it. I have some questions (sorry if they sound too silly, I’m just starting!!):
1) Is it ok to use transparency film instead of paper to make the stencil? I can imagine that it would last longer, but not sure if the results are the same…
2) How do you clean the frame w/silk? Any specific products?
3)Can you use the same technique to stamp on paper?
Thank you so much!
