Alright, the washout basin did arrive last week and I've spent the last five days or so installing it. Finally it is up and running and it is a huge change from hauling all the equipment down to the flea-infested basement of 2903 every time we needed to wash a dinky little screen. Now the proper, streamlined procedure for screen washout is as follows:
a)Stand facing the washout basin approx. twelve inches from face of tub.
b) After perfroming mandatory legs, arms, and hands extension exercises, and limbs are sufficiently deft and nimble, proceed to reach left of the washout basin and turn the switch marked 'EMERGENCY' to the 'ON' position.
c) Now that ample light is being deployed, place that dirty, dirty, bad screen on the stand in the basin, inserting the bottom edge in the desired groove to provide the appropriate angle when the top edge rests against the back wall of the basin.
4) Reach behind the left edge of the washout curtain and turn the hose bib on the right one half turn counter clockwise.
5) Allow any air in the hose of the pressure washer to escape by spraying onto screen until an unmitigated flow of water emerges.
VI) When water flow is steady and the screen is sufficiently wet on both sides, apply a garbonzo bean sized (slightly larger than a pea) or so amount of emulsion remover paste, located below basin, to one side of the screen and work into the emulsion with a scrub brush. When emulsion begins releasing, flip screen and repeat emulsion remover paste application.
F) When emulsion has had sufficient time to release from screen, approximately one and one half minutes, turn on pressure washer and spray out screen from both sides. Mindfully tend to the stubborn build up of ink and emulsion that can be seen in the backlit mesh.
7) After your screen is satisfactorily devoid of all remnants of debris, spray both sides with degreaser, scrub, and rinse.
T8) Allow screen to dry, while either repeating the washout procedure with another screen or rinsing the basin and brush, placing the proper lids tightly on their respective chemical canisters, turning the hose bib and 'EMERGENCY' switch to the 'OFF' positions, and general tidying up the immediate vicinity.
