Didn’t work

It didn’t so much as move the locked emulsion. But it did eat the adhesive that kept my mesh attached to its frame which I guess was handy in the end since I could just rip the mesh off easily in the hopes of replacing it. It also started drying out really quickly despite the fact that I put a thick layer on, so I put an even thicker layer on but it still did nothing and was still starting to dry. With that kind of corrosive power though I have no idea why it didn’t work on the locked emulsion but maybe it’ll work for someone else

Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. We are sorry to hear this didn't work for you. Un-Lok is a last ditch effort on stuck emulsion but it's not guaranteed to work. Often the chemistry with emulsion can go wrong (many reasons) and nothing can be done to remove it. However, there are some guidelines and tricks that can help. Emulsion remover should never be applied to the glue area and should always be cleaned off well before it has time to dry. We are always happy to discuss this with you- please feel free to reach out with questions to our support@ryonet.com or give us a call 360-576-7188

Worked like a charm

Thought my screens were gone for good. After finding out what I did wrong, I thought my screens were toast. Then, I found this. Sometimes you have to use it twice but worth it.

It's definitely worth getting and trying before buying new screens! Thank you for your review!

Hello, Quick (hopefully, not a dumb) question; Should Franmar Un-Lok be used in a lightsafe environment while trying to remove emulsion from the screen? Thanks, Scott Derby

Hi Scott! A light safe environment is not needed during the reclaim process or during the use of Franmar's Un-Lock. Good clarifying question! -Chuggins

So if I do that and don’t work screens are dead?

ScreenPrinting.com 05/03/2023

Hi Tricia - following up your question from before - It is possible that the emulsion cant be removed, yes. Emulsion can become so locked up that nothing will remove it from the mesh. If needed, you can also reach out to Franmar, the manufacturer, and ask them for recommendations. -Chuggins

Tricia N. 04/29/2023

How long do you recommend leaving on? Directions for use? Didn’t work for me

ScreenPrinting.com 05/01/2023

Hi Tricia! It is recommended to use Un-Lok along with a pressure washer. Wet screen, apply Un-Lok to both sides of the emulsion with a scrub pad and let sit for 5-15 minutes, depending. Spray out with the pressure washer from the squeegee side to assist with blasting the emulsion off the mesh. Not all locked in screens can be removed, some emulsions will be locked on too strong for various reasons. Hope this helps! -Chuggins
