    Ive done a few before John
    they bleed a lot under the stencil, Our Canvas was black, We painted a coat of black First to Seal the surface , then the white and green of the Logo on top, it worked OK, They were happy , i wasn’t totally pleased with the end product though.

    I know what you mean Ian, he sent the old ones round to test and they bled straight away, the guy that made them says because they are coated people use Smoothrite and roll over the mask??
