We did this in school, but we did it high cost, we used staple guns to put the mesh on a frame then coated the screen with mesh prep and something else I cant think of, then we burned the image to the mesh and used a power washer to fill it out, then we pulled the paint through onto the shirt, voila I have a glassjaw tee.
You have to saturate(I forget the actual filter command) the image for a 2-3 color limit before using the black and white filter. It makes the black and white parts of the image less defined, thus it will be easier to apply the glue since there will be less detail for the white parts. That will make your inked parts come out a LOT clearer. Try it.
Yeah I watched it again. There's too much detail in the black and white image after only using that one filter. You need to use the filter(I wish I knew it's name) that sets the original image for only 3 colors. After that then you use the B&W filter so that there won't be as much detail. It will come out a hell of a lot better.
screenprinting from scratch = AWESOME.
I've had more success just using a paper stencil, though, not a screen.
The best way to do it on the cheap would probably be to make a paper stencil and paint in drawing fluid, then cover the whole thing in screen filler. Cheaper than buying all the stuff to make photographic screens, but better than just using a paper stencil.
my suggestion would be to get one of those handle-less spatulas and use that to aid in the spreading of the ink. don't dab it/brush it on, pour a generous portion on the inverted sewing hoop, and use the spatula to make sure you get even distribution across the image. then scoop the remainder into an edge of the hoop, remove, let dry.
