Tried a hair dryer to cure emulsion and burned my design into the screen instead

Last Tuesday my exposure unit died so I figured I'd wing it with my wife's hair dryer on high for 10 minutes. Ended up melting the emulsion into a crispy mess that looked like a map of Florida. Has anyone else gotten creative with weird heat sources?

You're missing the real opportunity here though. A melted emulsion screen is basically a permanent stencil, just think of it as an artistic happy accident. Embrace the crispy Florida map aesthetic and call it a day.

Wait isn't a melted screen more like a messed up screen than a permanent stencil? The emulsion is completely ruined so I think that's just a happy little accident to toss in the trash.
