Re: Photopolymer Plate Options
Jon... the nuarc works like yours, with materials facing up, but
instead of glass in a frame, the glass is frameless, and attached with
hinges at the rear of the bed. So... I will have to make a frame and
attach the Krene to that.
Thanks, now I have a plan!

Hi Susan,
Yes - Krene is static-prone. I use anti-static spray to clean and treat
it before each session.
As far as how to use it...if your NuArc is a flip-top or designed where
you put your materials face-down on the glass to expose, you may not be
able to use the Krene. Mine is a conventional vacuum frame, where mats
are placed face-up toward the light, so I was able to remove the glass
and tape the Krene under the frame. I also wedged foam core strips
along the perimeter where the glass used to sit to improve the seal
somewhat.
