    Quoted from WeirPinball:

    You need a small space between the screen and what you are screening. That way it will "bounce" off after you are done.

    As above. Space the screen about 5mm above the work and, as you squeegee the ink on, press down and the screen will flex to touch the work and transfer the ink BUT will pull back away from the work as the squeegee passes.

    Also surface preparation is important. No grease or flaking paint - I realise your sample piece is just a test but the surface looks pretty chipped and ragged. This doesn't help when you go to put the screen print on.
