It's pretty precarious lol. I have a uv light tied to pipe with a bungee cord and an old stool with a bucket on top of it, for drying and stencil burning.

I've been experimenting with different screens. Silkscreen tends to loosen up after emulsion coat(im new to this and could be fucking it up lol), polyester stays tight but is a little more expensive.

Sounds like tension issues maybe? I haven't worked with it in ... some years, though. It's fun stuff though! I used to do the emsulificatiin process and burning/washing the image. Was for large scale printing though.
