Step 12: Position your PhotoEZ or StencilPro stencil on Tote Bag shiny side down
We have also inserted a piece of cardboard inside the bag for support. |
 |
Step 13: Spread Jones Tones Puff Paint onto the stencil
Hint: make a neat thick line of paint. There should be enough paint to cover the entire image on the stencil.
|
 |
Step 14: Spread Paint evenly onto the stencil with the squeegee.
Use the following tips to avoid bleeding and pinholes:
• Use plenty of paint.
• Keep squeegee at no lower then 45º angle. This will help prevent
bleeding under the stencil.
• Use even strokes and go back and forth only once. Avoid
the tendency to paint.
• Lift the stencil slowly. Lifting too fast will create bubbles
and possible pinholes.
|
|
Step 15: Lift the PhotoEZ or StencilPro stencil and heat set the freshly applied puff paint
Hint: a high setting of a hair dryer can be used to heat set the puff paint.
|
 |
Step 16: Rinse the used PhotoEZ or StencilPro stencil with water and dry
Brush and rinse with water. Use a plastic canvas to support the stencil during rinsing or cleaning screen printing ink.

 |
Step 17: If stencil #2 is used (text in a circle), repeat steps 12 through 16 to apply
We have used the Liquitex BASICS Titanium White acrylic color. Start out by placing the stencil #2 on Tote Bag and aligning it with the tree image; which has been already applied. Make a thick line of paint at the bottom of the image on stencil. Use the Palette Knife (optional) . |
