  • Patent number: 5890428
    Abstract: A method of transferring a decorative stenciled image to an irregular object utilizes flexible plastic static cling sheet material as the stencil medium. The cutout stencil is shaped approximately to the size of the surface of the object that will receive the image and conforming the stencil medium to the surface smoothly, adhering the sheet material such that the static cling attribute of the material will bond to the object's surface without lifting or breaking that would cause gaps or bubbles. The method is completed by well-known steps of applying stencil ink or paint by brush or other suitable applicator, removing the stencil medium and optionally curing the image by baking or other fixation step.
