Create the plate

Once the stencil is cut, the negative portions are glued to a piece of glass using a gluestick. It is important to use a piece of glass that is slightly larger than your plate so that the edges of the glass don't cast shadows on the plate during exposure. I use glass from inexpensive 8.5" x 11" document frames. You can get these frames for about $3 at places like Walmart.
