Silkscreen Print with Vinyl

Step 8 Block screen to fill in the open spots

If you have any spare scraps of vinyl, you can use them to cover any holes in the area around the stencil. Regular masking tape works fine for this, make sure any masking you do is pretty flat, because if you run the squeegee over a bump in the tape it will probably come out as a light spot on your print.

Masking tape has an adhesive that sets up over time as it oxidizes, so it may not be good if you plan on leaving the stencil on the screen, then hope to reuse the screen.
