Thanks for the tip about using white then another color on top, that makes sense now. Also, with printing light colors on dark shirts, you can use the same "flashdrying" (hairdrying) method by putting one coat on, hairdrying it and washing the screen, then put a second coat on once the first is dry to the touch. This seems to cover any non-opaque spaces in the ink. Don't forget to iron after it's dry to heat-set the ink so that it stays on the shirt for years and years.
