Banksy is definitely a legend in the graffiti community. His paintings have become famous for their brashness and the truth they tell. And the Banksy Hip Hop Rat is no different. This image of a rat dressed as a rapper with New York hat and a boom box is fantastic and we have captured it in great detail with our incredible Banksy Hip Hop Rat stencil. The Banksy Hip Hop Rat stencil shows the rat just as Banksy portrayed it. And with this stencil design you can put it wherever you want. You can graffiti it somewhere special in tribute to Banksy. You can create art you can sell at craft shows. You can even create Banksy-themed greeting cards, mixing this stencil design with any of our other Banksy designs, such as the Banksy Love Rat stencil. The beauty of the Banksy Hip Hop Rat stencil, and all of our stencils, is that you can paint it anywhere, provided you have the right paint for the medium. And since we laser-cut the stencil in a range of sizes, it's easy to find the right size for your project, whether it's big or small. Available sizes include: 6” x 6” 8” x 8” 12” x 12” 15” x 15” 20” x 20” 25” x 25” 30” x 30” 35” x 35” So, get out your spray paint, roller, or brush and secure your stencil to the surface. Then create your masterpiece in honor of Banksy – or just because you like this design. Then you can wash the stencil and tuck it away until you or someone you know needs it again. And you will need it again because this design is so profound and fun to paint! This is a great DIY investment you'll use 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.
