Screen Printing - Patching Pinholes
This step is really easy, but really important too! No matter how much you washed, there are probably some areas of your stencil that have come off even though you really don't want them too. Often they are so tiny that they are actually the size of the head of a pin. They could be larger, but either way there is a way to fix it. All you need to do is use screen filler and a paint brush to paint over top of these holes on the wrong reading side of the screen. If it's me, I stand on the dark side of the room, hold the screen up and look through it into the light slowly moving the screen to see if any light peaks through where it shouldn't. If it does, cover it with screen filler!
