Calories Dont Count Stencil - Reusable - 7.5 MIL (190 Micron) Thick Mylar

Dieting and counting calories – who needs it? OK, taking care of ourselves and eating in a healthy way is a must, but there are times when you can let loose and indulge. That's why we have created our Calories Don't Count stencil. This stencil says, “Calories Don't Count On The Weekend” and that means that when the work week is done, you can enjoy the finer things you might avoid all week long. The words are done in a couple of gorgeous complimentary scripts, with an image of a cup of soda, a slice of pizza, and an order of French fries to show just how serious we are that you don't need to count those calories on the weekend. This would make a great sign you can hang in your kitchen or great stencil art you can sell at craft shows. Put this message up in a restaurant, a bar, or a café. You can even stencil it onto a t-shirt. All you need to take advantage of the versatility our Calories Don't Count stencil is the right paint for the medium and the right size stencil. You can paint this stencil on just about any surface, such as walls, glass, concrete, plastic, wood, metal, or canvas. And since we make it in a range of sizes, you can choose from the following: 5” x 6” 8.5” x 11” 18” x 12” 24” x 18” 36” x 24” 48” x 32” 55” x 35” Choose the colors you want, secure the stencil flat to the surface, and paint, being careful to preserve the detail of the image. When you remove the stencil, that detail will be crisp and clear. Then all you need to do is wash the stencil and tuck it away until you need it again, or until a friend wants to borrow 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.

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.
