How long to expose using the sun?

https://www.t-shirtforums.com/screen-printing/t74293.html

Any source of UV light will expose a screen (even the sun), but in order to ensure consistency you should have an exposure unit. You can buy one or build one yourself, but keep in mind that different light sources require different exposure times. Your emulsion manufacturer will probably recommend an ideal exposure time, but an exposure calculator is an important tool to have around your shop to help you figure out exactly how long you need to expose your screens to light. Now if you've set up your artwork, emulsion and light source correctly, as you expose the screen to light the emulsion should harden everywhere except where the light is blocked by the artwork positive. Make sure the glass of the exposure unit is clean, place the artwork positive on the glass, then align the screen on top of it and expose it to light.
