Screen Printing Supplies - cpmeshadhesives
CA Instant-Set Screen Mesh Adhesives

CA Instant Set Adhesives give you the fastest way to bond tensioned mesh to your frame

150cps realtively thin and is best for fine mesh counts 255 and higher
500cps is an all-around good viscosity for a broad range of counts 66 to 305
700cps is relatively thick for coarse meshes lower than 140 

Apply the adhesive onto stretched mesh in contact with the frame and spread it out evenly. 
Spray the surface  with the #819 Accelerator and it instantly cures to a hard surface bond.
