Will not etch mesh; contains no strong alkalis or hypochlorites. Ideal for use in tanks: will not attack adhesives on stretch and glue frames; tank heating unnecessary. Odor free

  3. Use a soft brush to apply Stencil Remover Liquid No. 4 on the screen from both sides.
  4. Wait five minutes - no longer. Do not allow the stencil remover to dry on the screen, as this can result in a permanent stencil.
  5. Wash away the stencil with a hard spray of water, preferably a power spray.
  6. Tank method: Dilute Stencil Remover No. 4 with water (no more than 1:2) - but only after thorough testing. It is recommended, however, that Ulano No. 4 be used at full strength for fastest and most thorough stencil removal.
