      I'm having issues with this too. In this video I bought they say to make sure it's a applied with a really smooth stroke and to coat screen twice on both sides. They also say to let dry and coat again but I think that's a little much. I have a feeling my screens are over-coated after the first application but I really don't know sh*t. I'm also curious about this...anybody have suggestions?

        my problem is over-coating, not under-coating...i think that thinner is better...my over-coated screens are taking forever to pressure-wash out even after solvent is applied...i am trying to get the hang of a super-thin but consistent coating...
        i will keep yall posted as i continue my experiments...
