or blue ink may be used for marking on labels only. Original stenciled

as a result of performing a repair procedure will be remarked with a
ballpoint pen, felt tip marker, or restenciled. All marking or restenciling
will be done on, or as near as possible to, the original location and

3. Place additional sheet of stencilboard beneath the area to be restenciled to prevent the marking ink from
penetrating to the areas.
4. Hold stencilboard in place and, using stenciling brush filled with parachute marking ink, restencil original
marking.
