"We are putting our stencil onto our glass object. We are doing a candle holder right now. Most of the glass that you are going to use is going to have a little bit of curve to it. And sometimes its hard to get all of the wrinkles and the air bubbles out when you're doing that. So you want to start from the middle and work out. And just push the vinyl. And especially make sure that none of the air bubbles are right where the stencil is. And you can work them out with your fingernail. If there's an air bubble like that, then you can see if you can work it with your fingernail. If it doesn't come out you can always pop it with a pen and rub it. You can use the pop sickle stick to get it all. See if it'll get them all out. Just rub it like we did before with the stencil, and it'll make sure that all the vinyl sticks to the glass. And then we won't get any of the armor etch where we don't want it."
