    did this today, not much, i know, but its my first go !
    i made a stencil out of vinyl, as i havent got any stencil mask,
    & brushed on sericol ink, problem was when i went to take the stencil of, it started to drag the letters with it, & i had to slightly cut round each letter with a craft knife to release the stencil, what did i do wrong, 😮
    was the ink to thick, or should i have taken off the stencil straight away (?) eddie

    Flippin Heck !! Eddie you’re brave I wouldn’t even have bothered with a soft cover, I’d have told the customer hard cover or nowt, well done mate, as to the inks it may not be the right ink for that material, was it polyplast PY ?

    I show my stiffy to my customers. They invariably like it and want one. The floppy ones are not so impressive I reckon and much less satisfying for both of us.

    Nice simple design by the way, like it!
