Once your image is under plastic (wrapped tightly so there are no ripples) roll out a sheet of fiberglass mesh. I bought this 38" tall roll online. It's cheaper to buy in bulk, like most things. I had to lay out the mesh in three pieces so the whole image got covered. Make sure the mesh seams don't overlap and that they meet squarely. You'll find that you can see your image right through the mesh and so you can follow it as your guide. In the above photo, the mesh is covering the left 2/3rds of the image.
