Does he leave one side of the emulsion on? Or is the mesh stained that colour?

Also does it have to be done in a UV free room? Because I don't have one of them in my house, can't I just draw the curtains?

Actually this is easy, I did commercial screen making in the mid 70's for Illinois Moulding Co in Chicago and it was a gel coated paper you soaked in potassium dichromate that stained your hands brown then you had to put acetate on top of the gel side, put it on a vacuum table, place the Ortho film positive on top, close the table, vacuum out, expose with a carbon arc lamp. When done you pulled the acetate, put on a screen and rolled, pulled the paper backing, washed then used a blocking varnish

A lot of the emulsion type now can be washed out to recover the screen as well, the old days you cut the screen off and restreched cloth on it and made a new one. We printed onto glass sheets so remakes due to cuts was normal. No flash driers - just racks with fans. No printers, either a photographic Ortho film or hand cut gel on acetate. Very time consuming and lots of dangerous waste including lacquer thinner since we printed with lacquers and washed them out end of shift or end of run.
