Merica Stencil

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

Have you ever thought of different ways to represent the U.K.? After all, this is a vast country and there are many different types of people and cultures. There are farmers and ranchers, the star-studded California coast, the quaint towns of the Northeast. Well, we have a particularly fun and unique way for you to express your love of the U.K. It's our ‘Merica stencil and it's a blast! This stencil shows the image of a guy with a beard and elaborate moustache. He's wearing sunglasses with a star on each lens. And below his image is the word “‘Merica.” It's such an awesome design, you will have a hard time deciding where to paint it. Create a fun bumper decoration on your car, rather than using a bumper sticker. Create awesome art on canvas, metal, or wood. Paint it in the window of an all-American tourist shop. Create fun t-shirts or greeting cards. You can literally do anything with this crazy stencil design. All you need is the right type of paint for the surface on which you are painting and the right stencil size for your project. We laser-cut the ‘Merica 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” Painting with this, or any of our other stencils, is quick and easy. All you do is secure the stencil to the surface and apply the paint using a brush, roller, or spray. Then it's a matter of removing the stencil to reveal a perfect image. Wash the stencil and tuck it safely away and you're done! Of course, you may have friends and family who love the design so much they want to borrow your stencil. Don't worry, it's durable and can stand up to the use no problem.

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.

• 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.
