[QUOTE=nhweaver;5922880 I am going to try to use a foam brush to mark the next stencil.[/QUOTE]
I put a small amt of the chalk in a custard cup or left over butter tub. I dip the edge of the foam brush in the chalk and swipe like you are instructed to do with the pounce pad. I really like the size of the brush. If I only want part of a stencil, I can do that with the brush. If you use a butter tub, you can just pop the top back on, ready for next time.
Now I just have to test my two bags of chalk. I have both the brush off and the iron off...but they are not marked! WAAAA! Guess I will be doing a test piece soon!
