    Patent number: 4637309
    Abstract: Method of using a stencil provided with a slot straddled by a pair of tracks which accommodate a plurality of alphabetic/numeric plates having openings formed as characters. A mask is also insertable into the tracks to hold the plates in position and to conceal the abutting edges of the plates. The stencil is of a bendable material susceptible of being conformed to curves so that the stencil may be used in applications such as marking automobile parts with identification numbers. For using the above or other type of stencil, wax placed on a surface is eroded through the stencil and paint applied over the remaining wax. When the paint dries, it is wiped to remove the paint superposed on the remaining wax.
