It shouldnt be that sensitive to light, indirect dim light that is.
I agree with the other guy, you may be putting it on too thick. What are you using to spread the emulsion? What are you using to expose it?
I know this sounds kindof lame, but dont put it on too thin either, as you will get pinholes.
When I first started printing, I would use speedball photo emulsion and a 150 watt bulb about 2 feet away from the screen surface with some sort of reflector behind the bulb (Pie tin?) After a while I graduated to a photoflood bulb and you can expose them in like 5 or 6 minutes. We also used some industrial photo emulsion rather than speedball hobby shit. BonSeff still does quite a bit of screenprinting, between us we can get this screen burnt.
