Silk holder apparatus and method of using silk holder apparatus with stencil holder
An apparatus for use in decorating cookies, baked items or other items, comprising a thermoplastic rubber base piece; a piece of polyester silk component positioned on the thermoplastic rubber base piece; and an ABS plastic top piece, wherein the apparatus is configured to eliminate lifting of the stencil while airbrushing. When airbrushing food coloring through a stencil on to cookies or other items, the polyester silk screen presses the stencil against the item firmly and evenly across its entire surface. Further, the polyester silk screen slows the movement of air therethrough. These two properties both act to reduce an undesirable effect of the airbrushing process called under-spray, in which the airstream lifts the stencil off the cookie or other item slightly, blurring the edges of the stenciled image. |
