Not Bad... Not Great... Not Productive! YuDu part 2

Okay, I previously posted about all of these lovely products that I had purchased for my Yudu... basically different paints/inks, emulsion instead of capillary sheets... a different squeegee. I have finally received all of those products. I received the first set from one of the websites that I purchased within 2 days and then I finally had e-mailed the other website letting them know that I had not received even a confirmation of my order and I spent like $100 so I wanted to at least know that I didn't just send that money to joe schmoe somewhere on a beach. So, that afternoon I received an e-mail from them stating that they had shipped my order that day. I have received both of them, but I have just not had the time to start playing as I had wanted. I did burn my first 2 screens today. I first used the capillary film that comes with the Yudu... but I am slightly confused, because they did not send emulsion remover which is what you use to clean the screen, but they sent you enough stuff to make 2 screens... but if you can't clean the first one then how do you make the second? And, they only send you 1 transparancy. That didn't make sense to me either. I want whatever the person that came up with that system was on...

Anyhoo contrary to almost everything I had read about making the screens with the capillary film it wasn't that hard. I burned it right the first time... I think. I did like a practice print on an old tshirt I stole out of my lil' bros old room... Really cute... on the front of a gray shirt is has a ginormous gawdy Tommy Hilfiger logo and on the back it has Ella Joe Couture twice in pink. Sweet. Anyhoo... I had put my logo two different ways on the same screen figuring I could just tape over the one I didn't want to use right? So, after making sure that both came out looking good I went to clean the screen... oh... that is where the headache started. It was not fun. Not fun at all. I don't know what I was doing wrong or anything... but it sucked... so, I flipped the screen over and started trying to get the paint off on that side... well, then the emulsion just started coming off too. So... I had to burn another screen the exact same one mind you because I didn't get anything actually done that I wanted to get done! Ugh!! And, during this process I also went to make a video of what I was doing, and apparently only when I picture lots of people looking at or seeing my video (don't know why... no one reads my blog... blah ha ha!) I freaked out because everything was so dirty because well... I just have crafty crap everywhere... so... not so good!

Anyhoo... that's a bit of a run down on how my first experience with a yudu went. Not bad... not great... not productive.
