2:  Preparing the Glass and Placing the Stencil


       Start by washing the glass with window cleaner. Be sure it is completely dry and lint-free before placing the stencil.

Placing the stencil

       With the stencil label-side up, carefully remove the backing paper. This exposes the adhesive.


       Carefully apply your stencil with the adhesive side to the glass. Burnish the stencil to the glass using a squeegee.  Please note: Due to the necessity of a very tight seal between stencil and glass surface, Egress Etch stencils are are SINGLE USE only.

Securing the stencil


Peel off the protective layer

       Slowly and carefully peel off the top layer, making sure all pieces of the stencil remain on the glass.


       Is your stencil now securely anchored to the glass? You're ready to Begin Etching!
