Additional Adaptations & Tips if needed.

1. Make sure that you mix the AC310 Silkscreen Medium with the product of choice well.
2. A Palette Knife works best to mix the Silkscreen Medium and the color together.
3. Do not add any water to the color mix. If the color mix is too thin, add a small amount of more medium or if to think add some more color product.
4. Make sure to clean the screen after use. You do not want the color mix to dry in the screen.
5. The easiest way to clean the screen is to place it into a container of water that is larger than the screen. You do not want to jam the screen into a container that is too small, it adds a lot of wrinkles to the screen.
