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

Geckos are cute little lizards that have become beloved pets for many people. Native to the warmer regions of the world, geckos have been bred as pets and come in some very beautiful colors and patterns. Whether you have a love of these small scaly creatures or you know someone who does, our Gecko stencil is a great way to express and honor that love. Our Gecko stencil provides you with a basic outline for a gecko. But don't go thinking that's boring. You can see all of its little toes in detail. Plus, you can choose any colors you like, and once you paint the basic gecko shape, you can add additional colors and create a pattern that is truly unique. This makes this stencil design ideal for creating a variety of Gecko stencil art you can sell at craft shows. Not only that, but you can also hang this art in your home, maybe adding to a Mexican theme in your decor. The possibilities are virtually endless with our Gecko stencil. All you need is the right paint for whatever surface you are painting, whether that is a wall, glass, fabric, concrete, wood, metal, canvas, or another type of surface. Then choose the stencil size you need from our range of sizes, which includes: 5” x 6” 8.5” x 11” 18” x 12” 24” x 18” 36” x 24” 48” x 32” 55” x 35” So, when you are ready to get your gecko design on, simply secure the stencil and paint. The image you are left with will look professional and beautiful. And you can use this stencil over and over again for many years, as long as you care for it and wash it after every use. What could be better than that?

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.
