Put a good sized dollop of stencil paste on your stencil.

Step 3

Slowly spread the stencil paste. Gently push down so that the paste pushes into all the areas of the stencil.

Step 4

After your stencil is covered, remove the tape on the bottom and sides, leaving only tape at the top of the stencil. Lifting from the bottom slowly, remove the stencil.
