What this tool is for

This compact aluminum coater has a six-inch nominal width and two coating edges. It is worth comparing for small label or logo screens where a larger trough would hit the rails. The end caps help contain the emulsion as you pull the lip along the mesh.

Fit and buying advice

Measure the inside span including clearance at both ends. If you also coat much wider screens, compare a set that adds a separate larger coater. Choose the edge and coating sequence from the emulsion instructions for the mesh you use.

Questions about this tool

Which side of the frame determines fit?

Measure across the rails in the direction the coater will span, then check the travel along the mesh.

Does the coater print the ink?

It applies the emulsion used to make a stencil. Use a squeegee for the printing stroke.

When would six inches be too short?

Compare a wider lip if you frequently coat a much broader opening that gives it room.
