If you go to the Support tab on the website and select Downloads, this will present you with a number of PDF files which when opened gives detailed information about how to use the film and how to create stencils.
APM Plus would be the suggested solution as it allows deeper engraving. The ideal infill product is "Rub n Buff" which can be purchased from Crystal Galleries in several colours, silver, gold, black and red.
APM Plus is recommended, however we have also had good results with APM R3 which can be repositioned on the glass. Also, there is a thicker version of Rapidmask (PS16) which is ideal.
If we have supplied the exposure unit we can supply you with an accurate exposure time, otherwise you will have to perform a step test. Start with with an exposure time of a minute, examine the resulting film, if it is brittle then the film has been overexposed, if the image on the film is faint then it is under exposed. Increase or decrease the exposure time accordingly in ten second increments. Slightly under exposed is preferable to over exposed.
