Yes, it is just as good. All you need is a tight seal on the edges so the etching cream doesn't leak under. I use clear contact paper because it is easier to see when I am positioning the stencil on the glass but any color will do.

Contact paper works well, make sure you get the permanent or strong hold. Contact paper now also comes in repositional. But then maybe you want to be able to reposition it.
