Patent ID: 8061269

Claim:
A stencil for applying a design to a desired surface, the stencil comprising: a first layer having an embossed top surface and a bottom surface, the first layer comprising an absorptive non-woven base comprising a blend of a natural material and/or a synthetic material; a second layer having a top surface and a bottom surface, the top surface of the second layer attached to the bottom surface of the first layer; a third layer having a top surface and a bottom surface, the top surface of the third layer attached to the bottom surface of the second layer, the third layer comprising a structured material; a fourth layer having a top surface and a bottom surface, the top surface of the fourth layer attached to the bottom surface of the third layer, the bottom surface of the fourth layer having an average static coefficient of friction of about 0.3 to about 0.8 and an average kinetic coefficient of friction of about 0.2 to about 0.8 as measured against a bottom surface having the same bottom surface as the fourth layer and one or more cutout portions that extend through the first through the fourth layers that allow passage of a material therethrough to apply the design to the desired surface.
