How do you remove the graphite from the helmet, assuming that it's covered with the masking fluid before you paint? Or do you trace a bit outside the lines and keep the masking fluid inside the graphite and just paint over it? I've had success with the latter method with the transfer paper as the paint covers it without showing evidence of the lines below. Not sure it would with graphite. Interested to try the method as I've already been printing the stencils on tracing paper, but the doubling up with tracing paper over transfer paper for getting the stencil on the helmet. Good stuff.
