Next you are going to want to make sure that the metal parts you are screen printing are clean and dry for the screen printing process to work. To remove the particles and any discoloration scrub the metal parts with a rough end of a sponge. Also to remove all grease or adhesive, rub the metal parts with rubbing alcohol.

Polyurethane also seals the metal surfaces but you must let it dry completely before printing on it.
