Silkscreen Print with Vinyl

Step 5 Attaching the stencil - adhesion

When the weeding process is done, you put a low tack masking tape over the image to hold it in place. I used a sqeegee to make sure I got an even result. At this point, the cut vinyl is sandwiched between the low tack masking tape and the original backing that it came on. Theoretically, you can let it sit in this state indefinitely. In this example, it was a week between cutting the stencil and putting it on a screen.
