Greek Key Stencil

Greek Key Stencil - Reusable - 7.5 MIL (190 Micron) Thick Mylar

Ancient Greek designs are classic and beautiful and have stood the test of time. If you go to Greece, you can see these designs in the ancient architecture, but many people around the world have incorporated these designs into more modern art and decor. Now, you can do the same with our incredible Greek Key stencil. The Greek Key design is as classic as they come. It is essentially a continuous line that is shaped into squares for a uniform, sophisticated look. This is exactly what you will get with our Greek Key stencil. The stencil has a straight section of the Greek Key design and a section that includes a corner. This makes it possible to create a border around just about anything. Plus, because we offer the Greek Key stencil in a range of sizes, you can add this design to small things or large. 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” Use this design to create a wall border in a room in your home or use it to paint a border around a window in a retail store. Stencil the design around the edge of a table or dresser or add it to posters, signs, and art. There is no end to the possibilities, especially because with the right paint for the medium, you can paint this stencil design onto any surface, such as walls, glass, paper, wood, metal, canvas, and plastic. Best of all, the Greek Key stencil is simple to use. It comes with registration marks, which means you can line the stencil up each time you use it to ensure the resulting design is evenly spaced and straight. That means that within just minutes, you can add a professional-looking decorative border to whatever you want to spruce up. All you need to do is secure the stencil to the surface and paint. Then wash it and tuck it away because this is one stencil design that has so many uses you'll never want to throw it away.

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.
