Making photo emulsion more photosensitive?

hi there,

I'm doing a project in which I am trying to create a pinhole camera using a silkscreen coated in photo emulsion as my negative. I'm finding the screen doesn't expose at all and the emulsion just washes out (even after days of exposure) So basically I'm looking for an alternative emulsion or a way to increase the sensitivity to decrease the exposure time so its something comparable to photographic paper. Anyone have any suggestions, THANKS!
