Instructions

If you want a matte surface, sand a sheet of Translucent PolyShrink. If you'd rather have a semi-matte surface skip this step.

Measure the tallest letter of those you'll be using. Plan to make your circle (or other shape) at least 1/4 inch larger.

For circles:
Use a punch if you have the appropriate size.

A circle template can be substituted. Draw lightly with a graphite pencil on the opposite side from the one you intend to stencil, then cut out with scissors.

For squares and rectangles:
Use a paper cutter to cut strips 1/4 inch wider than the tallest letter you're using.

By far the best tool we found for stenciling on PolyShrink is the Stylus tool and interchangeable white foam tips from Clearsnap. The tips come in a variety of shapes.

The foam tips function like a miniature ink pad, making them idea for stenciling.

This will ink, but not over ink the foam tip.

(For stenciling, inking the foam tip off the pad is a better choice than inking from a re-inker.)

After baking colors intensify.
