Supekleen SPIF Cleaning Fluid
S.P.I.F. completely removes cured plastisol inks, most water-based inks, flock lettering and adhesives from all textiles. Its unique oxygenated formula leaves fabric free of any trace of the ink smudge. Unlike other cured ink removers, S.P.I.F. is a full-strength product and does not contain any petroleum hydrocarbon "fillers." This ensures that the ink marks are removed using a minimum of product.
Expert 303 Spot Remover
Premium 303 is the most powerful cured ink remover manufactured. It is made for all screen print applications. The ultra fast-drying formula removes ink marks quickly and does not spread. This reduces chances of ink bleeding around the cleaned area. A new "frost-reducing" additive eliminates moisture rings caused by condensation. Premium 303 removes cured plastisol ink, water and vinyl based inks, ballpoint and marker pen inks, felt-tip marks, adhesives and more.

Step 4 – DEGREASER:
This is one of the most important steps in the reclaiming process. Degreasing your mesh will help the emulsion adhere better and minimize the appearance pin holes. Apply degreaser and brush on both sides of the mesh, rinse with water medium pressure.
Always degrease before coating your screens for the first time.

Step 2 – HAZE REMOVER:
This step is only necessary if you find any stains on the mesh after step 1 & 2 is completed. These stains are referred to as Haze or Ghost images. Begin by applying your Haze Remover directly where the stains appear on both sides of the mesh. Let it sit for approx. 5 min. and clean with a brush. Rinse with water at medium pressure.
