Ampersand Script Stencil

Ampersand Script Stencil - Reusable - 7.5 MIL (190 Micron) Thick Mylar

The ampersand has been used since the 1st century AD, taken from the Latin word “et,” which – not surprisingly – means “and.” Over the many centuries of its use, the ampersand has been written in many ways using many font styles. And now we are bringing one of the more elegant forms of the ampersand to you with our beautiful Ampersand Script stencil. You can use this historic symbol in many ways. Perhaps you want to use it between two names to show the love between two people. This would be ideal on invitations to a wedding or anniversary party. You can also use the Ampersand Script stencil to create a gorgeous piece of art right on a wall in your home or business or you can create wood or metal art you can hang, gift, or sell. You can even create posters and signs, stencil the design onto furniture, or put it on a t-shirt. As long as you have the right paint for the medium, whether that is a wall, wood, metal, plastic, concrete, or some other surface, you can create the Ampersand Script design virtually anywhere and you can use it with our letter stencils, such as the Cera Letter stencil. We make this possible because we laser-cut this stencil in a range 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” All you need to do is choose your surface and choose the right paint in the color of your choice. Then secure the stencil flat and get painting. This is an easy stencil for beginners to use and it's also incredibly easy to clean and store away to be used again. The tough mylar material is durable and can be used over and over again for 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.
