Thats exactly how I clean mine and just plain ice water dont cut it.When I pull a bag I immediately put it in an empty bucket and have a squirt bottle and a pour bottle. I turn edges of the bag down over the bucket just like when you put them in before running them. Then I push down some raising the bottom up some. Then rinse off the sides with the pour bottle and push down more raising the screen near the top of the bucket and sucking water out if any is present. Then I spray my squirt bottle and wash all the hash from the edges to the center. Push down sucking out the water I put in and scoop it up. Then remove the bag leaving it inside out and rinse the screen in the bubble water in the bags waiting to be pulled. Then run them to my utility sink and rinse them with cold water thoroughly. Then hang them to dry.
Doing all this with all ice cold water keeps the resin from becoming sticky. Also rinsing the sides and spraying besides keeping everything cool gives the screen a pre wash before the next rinse in bucket and then washed in the sink. The material your screen is made from makes the big difference here because the material if not the heat stamped monofilament will possibly swell with water and also allow the resin to stick easier. This is from my wacky bag experience. I will post pics sometime of them after about 20 runs they look ten years old.
Well anything I have found about the cheaper sets like on Amazon and eBay is that the micron sizing is way off on most and the ones I am reviewing are suppose to be within one micron.]
By your other posts you imply as though you already knew how to check the micron size and had already been doing so on your bags is why I asked.Now for measuring the mesh you need to look with a macro/magnifyer and a micrometer and look and measure I believe to tell and figure it out. Google it an you will see a post comparing screens rated at the same microns from two different sets and one is out by around 50-60 microns on a bag that was suppose to be an excellent resin bag.
