Africa Zebra Stencil - Reusable - 7.5 MIL (190 Micron) Thick Mylar

Zebras and Africa go hand-in-hand. These beautiful equine creatures roam the plains of Africa, their monochromatic stripes caught in the sunlight as they graze. They are truly beautiful. And now, we bring you both the zebra and Africa in a way you have never before seen. Our African Zebra stencil is a fantastic combination of the continental shape of Africa and the beauty of the zebra. The Africa Zebra stencil shows the full continent of Africa, but instead of it being a map, there is the image of a zebra's face and neck surrounded by a zebra stripe pattern. The stencil design is incredibly detailed and dramatic and can be used in so many ways. This is in part due to the fact that we laser-cut this stencil with precision in a number of sizes, including: 6” x 6” 8” x 8” 12” x 12” 15” x 15” 20” x 20” 25” x 25” 30” x 30” 35” x 35” Not only that, but you can literally paint the Africa stencil anywhere! All you need is the right paint for whatever surface you have chosen. You can paint on glass, walls, canvas, fabric, concrete, plastic, wood, metal, or anything else you can imagine. Simple choose the color you want to use, secure the stencil, and paint. You will have an awesome design that would look great on a t-shirt, on a kid's bedroom wall, or on the window of a safari shop. Plus, if you pair this stencil with one of our other animal stencils, such as the Zebra stencil, you can create something completely one-of-a-kind. And when you're all done, cleanup couldn't be easier. Just wash the stencil with warm water and soap and store it away for future use. Our Africa stencils is durable and will last for many years to come.

Here are some advantages of using Mylar stencil material:

  • FLEXIBLE: Mylar can wrap around cylinders and uneven or irregular surfaces, and can be rolled for shipping and storage.
  • EASY TO CLEAN: Our Mylar is solvent proof, so cleaning up paint or ink is quick and simple.
  • REUSABLE: Our stencils are built to withstand normal painting wear and tear, and keeping your stencil template clean is the best way to ensure a longer life.
  • DURABLE: Mylar sheets are reputably the strongest type of stencil material, and maintains durability without compromising the pliable structure.

7.5 MIL MYLAR STENCIL MATERIAL

  • Medium Weight. Feels as thick as card stock
  • 7.5 Mil (0.19 mm) thickness
  • Very flexible for tight curves and cylinder shapes
  • Recommended for fine detailed craft stencils and smaller stencils
  • Reusable as long as they are kept clean and well maintained

WHY DO WE RECOMMEND MYLAR?

As mentioned before, the best way to achieve a perfectly painted stencil with a very nice paint edge is to use a stencil material that is as thin as possible for your project. At the same time, you also want a material that wont absorb paint or any liquid because this will cause the stencil to deteriorate. A stencil made from paper, cardstock or paperboard will become saturated with paint or ink rather quickly, and this causes a crusty, uneven edge that can never be removed.

Another option for stencils, and one that quickly comes to mind when we discuss durability, is metal stencils. While these thick, unbendable stencils do have their place for some industrial applications where paint overspray and running doesnt quite matter as much, they can be very expensive and heavy to ship.

There are some other plastics that are used for stencil manufacturing, but these are typically cut with a die cutter so there is a limited amount of detail that can be achieved. And because this older, traditional process takes so much work and expense to set up for each stencil design, the minimum are often in the 1000s.
