RE: Photo Silk Screen

 Seeing Bob hasn't replied, and there may be some urgency to your enquiry, I
can categorically say that it's silk material that is the problem - that
produced from silkworms. Organic fibres are destroyed by chlorine bleach.
Synthetic silk screens should not be affected by chlorox. I've used it
myself on synthetic screens.
Cheers

Bob
Message received loud, clear and bold but...
The screen material is not made of silk but a polymer of some type.
Are you warning me not to use it to clean previous gelatin based
photographic emulsion from 'silk screens' or 'silk' material per se?
Thanks,
PAUL

Paul:
I used Clorox bleach on Dacron fabric. Do not use this on silk fabric OR IT
will DESTROY IT.
