Printer's Edge offers a range of high quality screen printing supplies including squeegees, frames, and more for any printing job.
Screen Printing Tip
Degreasing is not always absolutely required, but it is always highly recommended. Even new mesh should be degreased. Small amounts of dust, dirt and oils may have been transferred to the mesh during manufacture, processing, shipping and receipt. Debris trapped on the mesh can cause streaking during coating and even "fish-eyes" - those open areas caused when oils repel liquid emulsion.

Mixing Your Own Glaze Colors Tip
Amazing glazes on the cheap!
Here's how I mix all my glaze colors for expert level painted wood grain: The big faux finishing supply companies want to sell you specific colors of glaze. Some of them are very good quality, but using a pre-mixed glaze is limiting because you can't control the ratio of colorant to glaze medium.
House paint supply stores (or many sources on line) sell paint colorant often called UTC or universal tint colorant. These colorants are inexpensive (around $6/pint) and super concentrated for doing many projects.
Purchase a quart of high quality, un-tinted, water-based glaze with long "open" or working time and add your own UTC colorant! You'll often find that just a few drops of UTC will often be enough to achieve your color.
This gives you total control over the intensity of the color so you can create any glaze from totally opaque to transparent, as your project requires. All at a huge cost savings.
You'll typically thin the glaze with water by a ratio of 1 part glaze to 2 parts water. Experiment with this as different un-tinted glazes will behave differently.
Hope this helps and thanks to the great folks at CraftyTips.com for the opportunity to share.

Crafting Tip
Quality tools are worth the investment. The pliers and wire cutters packaged and sold at craft stores are often designed for limited use. Anyone who plans on making wire jewelry in any quantity should invest in professional-grade equipment. My favorite tool is a combination wire cutter and needle nose pliers. I don't have to waste time switching tools while I work and know I won't have to continually replace my cheap tools when they wear out.
