Degreasing The Screen Process -
A. Place your screen into your sink and get it wet.
B. Spray a small amount of degreaser onto the surface of the screen. C. Using a white scrub pad, scrub from top to bottom and side to side on both sides of the screen. We recommend Chem 200, or Franmar D-Grease as the degreasing agent. D. Change degreasing scrub pads often to keep from contaminating your screen and causing pin holes. E. After scrubing down screen, flood rinse from top of screen to bottom and throughly wash all degreaser off the screen.F.
