Have 2 screens that have sat for over a year with the emulsion burned into them as I did use the screens. Any special or extra steps I need to do to remove the emulsion other than using emulsion stripper?

A little confused by your post, but if they were never exposed then you'll need to expose them (just set them out in the sun for a little bit). If they were exposed then just hit them with your remover like normal. I've reclaimed screens that were multiple years old plenty of times.

If they have not been exposed they should wash out with water and pressure sprayer. If they have, emulsion remover and pressure washer should do the trick. If they have any ink in them that thinner will not remove or if there is a ghost image haze remover should be in the mix.

If you're stuck with stubborn emulsion, caustic soda works - just watch you don't burn yourself - it's strong stinging stuff, and PPE is necessary.
