Rock Hand Stencil

Rock Hand Stencil - Reusable - 7.5 MIL (190 Micron) Thick Mylar

There is a symbolic hand gesture that has been associated with rock and roll music since American rock singer Ronnie James Dio of Black Sabbath made it popular in 1979. However, the gesture goes back far beyond the age of rock. Known as the corna or the sign of the horns, it has been used in various cultures through the ages, including Mediterranean cultures, where it was used as a way to ward off the evil eye. Of course, these days, we are more likely to think of this as a rock symbol, which is why we have brought you our Rock Hand stencil. This stencil design shows the precise hand gesture, with the pinky and index fingers sticking up and the thumb folded over the other two fingers. We even included some lines coming out from the hand to add a little pizzazz. And we laser-cut this stencil in the following range of sizes, so you can find the right size for your needs: 6” x 6” 8” x 8” 12” x 12” 15” x 15” 20” x 20” 25” x 25” 30” x 30” 35” x 35” The question is what will you do with this stencil? Paint it on a t-shirt? Make a poster to take to a rock concert? Paint it on the wall in your entertainment room? Whatever you choose to do, be sure you have the right paint for the medium. This will allow you to paint this symbol anywhere you want. And if you really do want it to ward off the evil eye, you can always paint it in your home for that reason. To use the stencil, secure it flat to the surface and paint using a brush, roller, or spray. Then you can wash this reusable stencil and tuck it away or pass it on to someone else. It's durable and will last for years.

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.
