Silkscreen Print with Vinyl

Step 7 Peel the backing off the stencil

Peel the manufacturer's backing from the stencil. Put the cut stencil on the inside of the frame, where you will be putting the ink. Rub it in place with your hands, and then with the squeegee to make sure you have a good connection with the screen. You can flip it over and look at the other side to see where it looks like it is stuck. When you feel like you have a good solid connection to the screen, then you can peel off the low tack masking tape. Pay attention to the stencil when you take the backing off. If any parts come off with the backing, you will want to stick them into place before you lose them.
