east coast source for screens
I'm planning to backscreen a couple of glass jobs in the near future, and need a source hear on the east coast for pre-made screens and emulsions. Any recommendations appreciated.

Garston Screen supplies, know nothing about them, located in Haverhill, MA. Tubelite and Midwest Sign & screen supplies are other good sources, but probably not in MA.
For emulsions, I use Ulano FX-88. For short runs, with only 100 pulls or less, you only need one coat on each side. Unless your already set up to do screen printing, find a source that makes, coats and burns, providing a ready to use screen.
For printing on glass, check out Hard to find supplies on the green page. Sericol's FDE - fast dry enamel works best for back up.
Edit:
Thought you were in MA, looks like it's CT. Close enough...that's why it's nice to see location included.
