Abstract
An adjustable spacer platemounts over the US standard screed boxthermoplastic openingof 0.125″ and creates a 0.090″ opening.[This eliminates the need for the user to buy another costly screed box.] For screeding over stencils, the spacercan be flipped to create a zero clearance opening. This allows the thermoplastic to come out only when an opening in the stencil pattern is present. Also, as the diewears down, the spacer can be removed which lets the standard size opening be used as a substitute for the 0.090″ opening.
