    Eric, take a 150 watt non-frosted lightbulb between 10 and 12 inches from the coated screen.

    45 minutes is how long I used to expose it. If you get a photoflood bulb, make sure it is photoflood#2 variety. 6 minutes, same distance from the coated screen.

    a tip is to go to a hardware store and buy one of those extension cord light outlet thingies (technical term) goto the grocery store and buy the biggest pie tin you can and make it a makeshift reflector hang the extension cord light over the coated screen, make sure you have a piece of black construction paper underneath the coated screen during exposure as it wont burn properly if you dont. If you have any other questions hit me up.
