Paint stencils
« on: August 25, 2008, 08:52:45 PM »
Is there a trick to applying vinyl stencils?  I tried to put one on the bottom of my wing for the lettering but it started wrinkling and tearing.

Thanks,

James

Slide it into place on a dilute solution of dishwashing detergent and water as you would a water-slide decal.   Rub the vinyl with a Kleenex to squeeze the water out from under it.  Eventually it will stick in place.

Position mask in place. Run a full length piece of masking tape along the bottem edge.

Fold the mask back using the masking tape as a hinge.

Peal the bottem backing off & smooth down the mask.

Remove upper backing & tape.

Paper off rest of plane.
