Peace Sign Stencil

Peace Sign Stencil - Reusable - 7.5 MIL (190 Micron) Thick Mylar

While there have been many symbols for peace over the centuries, the one we all know today is the famous circle containing the vertical line running down the center and the inverted “v” shape at the bottom. This sign was created by Gerald Holtom in the 1950s to be used as the logo for the British Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament. The inverted “v” stands for the letter “N” and the line down the middle stands for the letter “D,” which together stand for nuclear disarmament. Since the peace sign holds so much significance for those of us who have lived through the 20th century and into the 21st, we have created our Peace sign stencil, which depicts the classic peace sign Holtom created. This is a great stencil to use in so many different ways. You can create signs and posters to use at a peace rally. You can paint it onto t-shirts with fabric paint. You can stencil a huge peace sign onto a concrete wall or a store window. There are no limits! The flexibility of the Peace sign stencil is due in part to the fact you can paint it anywhere. All you need is the right paint for the surface material and you can paint the symbol on walls, glass, paper, fabric, wood, metal, or plastic. And since the mylar stencil is food-grade, you can even ice a cake with this design. The other half of the flexibility of this stencil is the range of sizes in which we offer it, which includes: 6” x 6” 8” x 8” 12” x 12” 15” x 15” 20” x 20” 25” x 25” 30” x 30” 35” x 35” So, get your peace stencil, choose your color and paint, and secure the stencil to the surface. Then all you need to do is apply the paint with a spray, roller, or brush and enjoy your creation. When you're finished, remove the stencil carefully, wash it, and tuck it away until you or someone you know needs it 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.
