Holding in you hand is a no no. Make some holders.




You will get more control.

You can cut a stencil out of aluminum foil and form fit it to the plug.

in addition to cardboard for templates, try using that plastic stuff that toys and electronics are packed in. You know, the stuff that you can never open without a razor and then you end up cutting yourself on the darn plastic (clamshell packaging i think is what it is called). An advantage of the clear plastic is that you can see where you are placing the template and can get a more exact location for it. Add a LITTLE heat (heat gun or blow dryer) and you can shape it a little to mold to your plug for an even crisper line.

Go Bears!

Couple other thing to bare in mind about stencils. If you hold them right up against the plug you'll get a very abrupt line. Hold the stencil a little off the plug (1/2 inch or so) and you'll get a little softer fade to the lines/dots. Both can be useful at times. Practice on some dowels or reject plugs first to get it down, then go for the good stuff.
