Lighthouse Stencil

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

The lighthouse has long been a beacon of safety in the dark. Traditionally used to help mark dangerous coastlines and guide ships and boats safely into harbor, these beautiful representations of our past are slowly disappearing now that we have electronic navigation systems to rely on. However, we have brought the magic of the lighthouse alive in our stunning Lighthouse stencil. The Lighthouse design depicts the simple image of a traditional lighthouse, the tall tower with the windowed top where the light could shine for all to see. This is such a great stencil to use to create some truly rustic maritime art on canvas, metal, or wood. You can also go big and paint it onto a wall or window of a museum, use it to help create the set for a play, or make it the center of the decor in your oceanside cottage. Use it with the Pirate Ship stencil for some real creative fun. As long as you have the right paint for the medium, you can paint this stencil design anywhere. Painting with the stencil is easy. All you need to do is secure it to the surface and paint in any color you choose. And because we offer it in a range of sizes, you can easily find the right size for your DIY needs. Available sizes include: 3” x 6” 5” x 11” 18” x 8” 11” x 24” 36” x 16” 48” x 22” 55” x 25” The biggest question for you just might be what to do with this lighthouse stencil first. But if you come from a seafaring family, live on a coastline, or just love the sea, you are bound to find many uses for this stencil. It's a good thing it is 100% washable and reusable, because you will want to use it over and over 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.
