5. A screen to cover

Step 2: Mixing

Mix the dish soap with the warm water and stir it around until it's sudsy.

To eveyone who visits this 'ible,' please don't judge it too harshly. This actually works very well! I know my picture quality isn't great, but this was the first one I ever made.

Thank you for pointing out my mistake. I said masking tape and meant packing tape.
