Dolphin Stencil

Dolphin Stencil - Reusable - 7.5 MIL (190 Micron) Thick Mylar

Did you know that a dolphin is related to the whale? Did you know an orca (or killer whale) is actually a dolphin? And did you know that dolphins have an intelligence that is second only to our own? Dolphins are majestic water creatures. They are mammals that live and swim in the oceans and rivers all over the earth and they are so beautiful that many people have a deep love for them. If you or someone you know loves dolphins, then our Dolphin stencil is for you. The Dolphin stencil offers the very basic, classic dolphin shape that is easy to paint, even for beginners. This is such a great design to use in any number of DIY art and decor projects. If you are doing an under-the-sea theme in a child's room, then you can use the Dolphin stencil as the centerpiece, stenciling it large right onto the wall. Then you can use our other Fish & Nautical stencils, such as the Sea Turtle stencil and the Shark stencil, to make your decor come alive. Other uses for the Dolphin stencil include painting it onto furniture, a hope chest, wood or metal art, greeting cards, on the backdrop for a play, or on a t-shirt. You can even create an amazing dolphin cake because the mylar Dolphin stencil is food-grade quality. In fact, as long as you have the right paint (or icing!) for the medium, you can literally paint this Dolphin design anywhere. Plus, we offer it in a range of sizes, which means you can easily find the size you need for your project. Available sizes include: 5” x 6” 8.5” x 11” 18” x 12” 24” x 18” 36” x 24” 48” x 32” 55” x 35” So, get that stencil and secure it to the surface. Then all you need to do is paint and lift the stencil for a clear, crisp image. When you're done, wash the stencil and tuck it away. The stencil is 100% reusable, which is good because you are bound to need the Dolphin stencil 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.
