Reddit reviews Liberty Glove – Duraskin - T2010W Nitrile Industrial Glove, Powder Free, Disposable, 4 mil Thickness, Large, Blue (Box of 100)

I bought it earlier this year. Here's the thing. You know surgical gloves? This is going to sound ridiculous, but they solve everything. The design of the Mad Men collection is BEAUTIFUL, honestly. It's the most beautiful DVD set I own. However, the DVDs just... don't.... come.... out....

But the gloves. Using a glove, they come right out. And you're not ruining the BluRay by touching it (the glove leaves no scratch). I keep the glove folded up in the back of the box set. Everything works out fine. I know, I know, this is the definition of bad design, but it's a concession I make because I love Mad Men and, besides the crap functionality, the design is just so lovely.

Next time you go to your doctor ask for a glove.

If you are sensitive to pressure treated wood then something like this that prevents the transfer of chemicals but would tear quickly, with less strength to pull your hand into the blade and is more close fitting would better:

Yes you can print discharge in your basement and an exhaust fan is a good idea but I've never found it overwhelming or anything. Better than some screen cleaning chemistry, worse than my poster acrylics. You may consider gloves. I wear them for all printing out of habit but for discharge it's a good idea. Be sure to clean up with a good degreaser (I use Simple Green) and dispose of any unused ink properly.

The cheapest (and most unreliable) curing for some water based inks is to "hair dryer cure" to the touch and then run the shirts in a commercial clothes dryer on high for 30 min. You can usually find these at larger laundrymats. This works only for some inks and you'll need to test it.

Far more reliable and not as expensive as a conveyor is a flash unit. I use this one and love it. I just lay out the shirt on a table and hover the flash unit over the shirt for 30-60 sec until the ink temperature hits it's cure point.

If you do not heat the ink to it's cure point, you will end up with a less than durable print. It will wash out over time.

Screens common for water based inks are 20x24", 156-305 mesh. My most common for shirts is 200.

Your squeegees are fine as long as they aren't too wide to fit the shirt screens. Side note: learn both pull and push strokes. Nearly all of my shirt prints are push stroked now. Also be sure to flood after every print stroke.

Not mentioned elsewhere: Emulsion needs to be resistant to discharge. Currently I'm using TX-Discharge and it's pretty good, flexible exposures and pretty high solid content. Over time I've learned that it's best to post-expose screens regardless of how long the run is. A min in full sunlight does the trick.

You can build a 1-color shirt press pretty cheaply with some cheap lumber and hinge clamps. Google it. Please don't stress yourself out trying to use a vacuum table for shirts. It's a pain. Built my last hinge press for like $30 and an hour of work. Totally worth it.

Other than that, start saving up for a multi-head press. Once you get to wear your work... well, it can be addictive. Hope the above helps and good luck!
