Harbor Freight no longer lists their air eraser on their website, but this one is very similar.

I’m curious to try the wet application method. Think I’ll check if there are any YouTube videos that show the process. Not sure how much dish soap/water is necessary to get a good slide, and then I assume you let it dry before cleaning the soap residue off. I had already ordered the squeegee @ekla posted by the time I saw your post. Thanks for the help! :slightly_smiling_face:

I always wanted to try this too, which is why I bought the Air Erase from Harbor Freight! :slightly_smiling_face: I tried it on a couple of glasses but that was all I ever messed with.

So… unlike glass, acrylic scratches very easily. What about just using sandpaper over the stencil?

That sounds like a great, super easy idea! I’ve got some experimenting to do this weekend! Thanks! :grin:
