Stencil Making Tips

We have included two video tutorials - although - for editing purposes - the developing process is filmed quicker than normal.

The videos are quick-loading - How To Make a Stencil & How To Mark Knives (which shows stencil making).

For the developing process, follow these steps - repeating if necessary.

• Exposure Time is 2 Minutes.
• Developer - Go over your stencil in the developing solution, counter-clockwise, then clock-wise with the white sponge.
• Make sure to do this process for 1 Minute on BOTH SIDES of the Stencil.
• Rinse with warm water until not slimy - pat dry with a paper towel or hair dryer.
• Hold up to the light to see if it's completely see-through.
• Repeat if Necessary.

Save your Developer - it's Reusable!

Time-Saving Hint: You will begin to FEEL the MESH on BOTH SIDES of the Stencil With Your Fingertips as it develops.
