Koi Fish Stencil

Koi Fish Stencil - Reusable - 7.5 MIL (190 Micron) Thick Mylar

Love fish? Can't get enough of them? They are fun to have as pets, especially if you are able to keep them in a pond. Koi fish ponds are particularly popular, but what if you just don't have the space to create a koi fish pond of your very own? Well, now you can go with the next best thing – creating koi fish art or adding it to your decor with our incredible Koi Fish stencil. The Koi Fish stencil depicts a single koi fish with its outline and fun spotty design. This is a simple stencil to paint, even for the beginner, and it is ideal for any number of projects. Perhaps you are decorating and want to create a fish theme, maybe on a child's bedroom wall or a wall at the fishing cottage. You can use the Koi Fish stencil along with some of our other fish stencils, such as the Trout Fish stencil. If you aren't aiming to paint this design on a wall, you can do so many other things with it. Paint it onto t-shirts for your fishing club. You can also stencil it onto your boat, furniture at the cottage, or a wooden chest. You can even paint it on the bottom of your koi pond, if you are fortunate enough to have one. Whatever you choose to do with the Koi Fish stencil, we have the right size for your project. You can order the stencil in any of the following sizes: 3” x 6” 5” x 11” 18” x 8” 11” x 24” 36” x 16” 48” x 22” 55” x 25” The key is to ensure you are using the right paint for the surface material and to secure the stencil flat, so it doesn't move. Then paint in the color of your choice. The resulting image will look completely professional and cleanup is nothing more complicated or difficult than washing the stencil and storing it for future use.

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.
