Method

1. First I cover the table up with newsprint then I taped up around the edges of the screen.
2. cover any patches on the other side with the tape.
3. I then applied the printing medium to the top edge.
4. I then took the squeegee and pulled it down the screen at a 45-degree angle.
5. Then I took the paper and placed it onto a drying rack.
6. Next once, I had finished I scooped up the rest of the ink and put it in the tub and the took the tape off and then took the tub of water and the sponge and cleaned it off.
