See The World Map Stencil

See The World Map Stencil - Reusable - 7.5 MIL (190 Micron) Thick Mylar

If you are an explorer or you have an explorer in your life, then you know the whole world is just waiting to be explored. Sure, you may be able to reach out to someone living on the other side of the world thanks to social media and the internet, but that isn't the same as getting out there and exploring it yourself. So many countries, cultures, and historic buildings are just waiting for you. And this whole idea of exploration has inspired our See The World Map stencil. Whether you want to create exploration-inspired art, give a greeting card to that special someone who is jetting off on an adventure, or paint a display in your travel agency window, this is the prefect stencil design. It has the words “See the World” and a pair of eyeglasses with a world map contained within the lenses. It's unique and fun and you'll have a blast deciding what to do with it. But you have to remember two very important things when using the See The World stencil. One is that you need the right paint for the surface on which you are painting. Otherwise, you're painting won't turn out and won't stay beautiful for the long-term. Second, you need the right stencil size for your project. Small, medium, large – we have it all. Here are the available sizes: 5” x 6” 5” x 11” 18” x 12” 24” x 18” 36” x 24” 48” x 32” 55” x 35” Best of all, painting this design takes just a few minutes from setup to cleanup. Secure the stencil flat to the desired surface and spray, roll, or brush the paint on. When you remove the stencil, you'll have a perfect image left behind. Then wash the stencil and you have it to use again and again for many years to come.

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.
