Applying Vinyl Glass Etching Stencil to Compound Curved Jar

Applying Vinyl Glass Etching Stencil to Compound Curved Jar -
Compound curved surfaces, just as the jar in the video and wine glasses, can be very difficult to apply a glass etching stencil. Using the techniques in the video will help. It does take patience and trial and error. Trimming around the image will help because you are removing material that is trying to lay flat on a curved surface. But, trimming also opens areas up and you will need to mask around the stencil to make sure etching does not touch areas you do not want etched.

Thank you for this video. I have a few questions please...
1. How did you get the stencil/vinyl/transfer design? I want to create a design but I don' t know where to start... =[
2. Where do I get some of that vinyl/transfer-paper?
3. I am trying to etch metal with dc-power and a salt-vinegar mix...will any vinyl/transfer-paper work?
Thank you...I'm just kinda lost and I can't do the intricate design that I want to do out of Electrical-Tape

How did you measure the compound curve to create the stencil?

[@kristinelson2655]

I just estimated this one and applied a slight arc to the text. You can figure it by place a straight strip of paper on the glass at the top and lay it flat. You then measure down on both sides to get the amount the line needs to curve. I have a photo demonstrating but am not able to attach it here.
