[Lab] Making Stencils

[Darcy Whyte]

I suppose a good thing to start is to decide on the overall dimensions of
the stencil and what material...

I find that a stencil has a recovery time. Once used you have to wash it
and let it dry. So if you want to do continuous usage you might need more
than one.. For cardboard, you can't wash it so you just use paint sparingly
and let it dry between runs. You don't get very many runs out of a
cardboard one if it has fine detail...

Do you have the paint chosen yet?
