Aztec Buffalo Stencil

Aztec Buffalo Stencil - Reusable - 7.5 MIL (190 Micron) Thick Mylar

How realistically could you paint a wild animal if you were given a paint brush and some paint? It would be pretty tough, unless you have some crazy talent. Yet, there are times when painting a certain animal is something we want to do, especially when we have a project we're working on, such as creating the set of a play or decorating our child's bedroom. Well, what if we told you there is a way to paint any animal you want with absolute precision? There is! With our aztec buffalo stencil you can paint a aztec buffalo anywhere you want, and it will look completely realistic. Posters, stencil art, graffiti art – you name it and you can make it happen, as long as you have the right stencil size and the right paint for the surface material. Any surface is fair game, including walls, glass, canvas, concrete, fabric, and any other surface in existence. Even a birthday cake can be painted with this animal design because the mylar material is food-grade quality. Someone is going to be a lucky birthday boy or girl, right? The hardest thing you will have to do is decide what project you want to start with. At least you don't have to paint alone. Get your kids in on it, or some friends, and have a stenciling party! You'll have a blast and you'll have a professional image to show for it. The only down side is you'll be done so quickly because the stencil is so easy to use. Just secure it and paint using a roller, brush, or spray. Then wash it and tuck it away until you need it again.

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.
