I think that was me.
I've been doing this quite a while.
Difficulty at first--problems with the screens not being tight enough, not
being clean----used screen wash to clean off greese first. The other thing I
found was that kids didn't burnish the stuff on well enough or handled the
sticky side too much so it lost it' s stickum. When that happened we used
screen filler or masking tape. Be sure all sticky stuff goes on the back of
the screen. We were using water based inks--------no ventelation nor equipment
for oil based inks.
Been sucessful with even intricate stuff.
Hope this helps,
Gelato
