Barbed Wire Stencil

Barbed Wire Stencil - Reusable - 7.5 MIL (190 Micron) Thick Mylar

Just think of the ways you can use barbed wire. Meant as a protective material to keep unwanted people from getting in, this type of wire has a menacing appearance and it can be used to create unique art and decor. This is especially the case when you have our fabulous and detailed Barbed Wire stencil. This Barbed Wire stencil features a length of twisting barbed wire with four barbs. Despite its menacing appearance, there is an elegance to it, as well, making it a great stencil design to border a room. You can use the Barbed Wire stencil to add some decor to a fence, paint it on your concrete walkway, or use it to create posters and signs for a rally or demonstration. You can also use it to decorate a set for a play. This versatility is made possible in part by the range of sizes the Barbed Wire stencil is offered in, which include: 5” x 6” 8.5” x 11” 18” x 12” 24” x 18” 36” x 24” 48” x 32” 55” x 35” All you need to do is choose the right size for your DIY project, choose the color of paint you want to use, and make sure the paint is right for the medium. Then you can paint on walls, glass, wood, plastic, metal, concrete, paper, and even fabric. The food-grade mylar even makes it possible to use it with food, taking cake decorating to a whole new level. When you are ready to use the stencil, simply secure it and paint. The stencil is 100% reusable, making it the environmentally friendly choice in art and decor. All you need to do is wash it and tuck it away until the next time you need it.

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.

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.
