Sea Turtle Stencil

Sea Turtle Stencil - Reusable - 7.5 MIL (190 Micron) Thick Mylar

The sea turtle lives a long, long life – as long as the lives of humans. They have lived in our oceans for 17.5 MILlion years and are important members of the oceanic ecosystem. Because of their long life, they have been considered a symbol of wisdom, patience, and endurance. They also represent good luck. So, why not bring that wisdom and luck into your life and your DIY projects with our incredibly lifelike Sea Turtle stencil. Our Sea Turtle stencil opens up a world of underwater decorative possibilities. You can use the large stencil as the centerpiece for a child's bedroom decor or you can use one of the smaller sizes to stencil the sea turtle alongside other ocean creatures to create an ocean scape. What child wouldn't love that? You can also paint the sea turtle onto furniture, posters, event or venue signs, or create your own sea-themed artwork. We make the Sea Turtle stencil in a variety of sizes, so you are bound to find one to suit your needs. Available sizes include: 5” x 6” 8.5” x 11” 18” x 12” 24” x 18” 36” x 24” 48” x 32” 55” x 35” There is quite a bit of detail, particularly in the turtle's head and flippers, so take care when painting. Choose the colors you like and be sure the paint is appropriate for the surface on which you are painting. You can stencil this design onto nearly any surface material, such as paper, wood, glass, plastic, metal, and concrete. This opens up so many decorative possibilities. When you are ready to paint, simply secure the stencil to the surface and create a masterpiece. It's incredibly simple and so is the cleanup. The stencil is reusable, so wash it with warm, soapy water and put it away for another time. You never know what other decorative ideas you'll come up with.

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.
