Working as a lifeguard is something a lot of young people do. It's a rewarding job, watching out for people, protecting them and keeping them safe, and saving them from dangerous conditions. There are probably plenty of people out there who owe their life to a lifeguard. Well, if you have a lifeguard in your life or want to honor one, what better way than by creating a fabulous piece of art with our Lifeguard stencil. The Lifeguard stencil has the word “Lifeguard” written above a lifeguard cross. You can use this stencil in many ways. You can create a lovely handmade greeting card to give the lifeguard in your life. You can create signs, both small and large, to display at the beach or at a pool to let people know where the lifeguard on duty is stationed. You can create signs to let people know where lifeguard training is. You can even make Lifeguard t-shirts or ice a cake with this design to congratulate the new lifeguard in your life. Honestly, there is no limit to what you can do with the Lifeguard stencil. All you need is the right stencil size and the right paint for the medium. We laser-cut the stencil in the following sizes: 5” x 6” 5” x 11” 18” x 12” 24” x 18” 36” x 24” 48” x 32” 55” x 35” And the right paint will allow you to paint on wood, metal, plastic, fabric, glass, concrete, and more. This makes the possibilities of what you can do endless. So, grab your paint, secure your stencil, and paint, paint, paint. Then you can remove the stencil for a perfect image, and you can wash it and tuck it away until the next time you need 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.

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.
