How to use a skull stencil
- Pick a design. Multi-layer skulls give shading; one layer is the bold, graphic look.
- Print each layer. Keep the registration marks on every sheet so the layers line up.
- Cut the black areas of each layer and number the sheets in spray order, lightest first.
- Spray in light passes from about 25cm, holding the can straight on to the surface.
- Let each layer touch-dry before lining up the next one on the registration marks.
