1. Do not use too much force with a scrub brush or high-pressure spray near the edge of the frame. Excessive pressure puts too much force on the glue holding the mesh to the frame and frequently causes delamination of the mesh.

2. Use tape to protect the crack between the mesh and frame. Solvent-Resistant Tape is more durable than disposable tape…it is especially beneficial if you are going to keep the frame/image

3. Keep the squeegee away from the inside of the frame where the mesh can not flex and stretch. The “ideal” squeegee length is 2” larger than your print area.

4. Do not allow harsh chemicals to soak the frame and glue.

5. For additional protection, apply a bead of mesh adhesive on the inside of the frame where the frame meets the mesh.

6. Excessive exposure to heat can cause delamination of the mesh.

Do not “over dry” the screen in a “dry box” and never expose a screen to temperatures over 105°F.
