I have never done this before and am looking to start. How long does a print on a T-shirt last with regular machine wash? Does it depend on the ink? Where do you get the framed screen? What name would I ask for at a store (an art store...?) or type on ebay if I wanted to obtain it? What is your advice for putting a design on a pair of sneakers or a hat? Thank you, -Sara Wonderful Video!

Very cool to hear that you discovered this process too! Interesting tip on the hair dryer. When I do live printing I use stencils and ink rollers and then use a heat gun to spot-dry the ink so people can leave with their shirts right then. I've never tried a hair dryer! One other thing I've noticed - if you let shirts sit for a month or more they pretty well dry and "set" without heat. It's not a perfect solution, but if you're, um, willpower-challenged and don't want to iron you could just let your shirts sit for a couple months ;) G Hi Nu’u Tilo!

The brand of the material I use is called "Mylar," and it's a sort of nylon paper used for drafting very very fine architectural drawings. I get it at an art store. I'm not sure of its generic name, but they should know what you mean by Mylar. The material is fairly sturdy, stores well if left flat and doesn't get mushy in ink. I hope that helps! Hi Shawn,

I'm sorry if that was not clear enough for me, I'm deaf so I cant hear you talking. But I did learn a lot from this! Pls let me know. Also is there other ways of stenciling using similar technique?

When I came back to the islands after college I found it hard to find all the things needed for silk screening and so I did it the same way you did. I hardly do t-shirts anymore but through the years I found using a blow dryer to dry the shirts was better for me because sometimes the material covering the t-shirt when ironing tended to stick if you didn't pay attention to how hot the iron was. You've got a great site, keep it up. Talofa Garrett, I live in American Samoa and I’ve come across your stencil process which is the same thing I used to do when I was younger.
