Drawing the Traces onto the Vinyl or Mylar Paper
The first step is drawing the traces onto the vinyl or Mylar paper. The next step is to transfer the image over the desired stencil material.
You can use a fine marker with a design tip to see the traces easily. You are supposed to use a metal ruler and make straight lines.
Securing the Vinyl or Mylar to a Transparent Plastic
The step is to prepare the design for cutting. You have to hold the tape to cut down your structure. You have to keep the area around 1 inch around the frame.
Weeding Using a Knife
The next step is to weed the design through a knife having sharp edges to remove the parts over vinyl or Mylar, which are unwanted.
You can rotate your stencil to be accessible in cutting and weeding the design.
Attaching the Design to the Silk Screen
The final step is to attach the design to the silkscreen, for which you have a layer of transparent tape over the back of the stencil. Now, you have to apply the silkscreen, and your design is ready.
