2. This will then open the right column, You will find the description is showing more but is not fully open. Again tap on 'more'



3. You will now see the full description and the Requirements section that will house the stencil guide. Tap on the link


Now at this stage the process will depend on your browser of choice. I have instructions below for Google Chrome and Safari
