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

Fan of Sharknado or not, there is no way you can ignore the beauty and nobility of this creature of the sea. Sharks are ancient creatures that have not changed at all from their prehistoric ancestors. They are still the king of the ocean and they are still as majestic as ever. And now you can bring the shark into your home with our detailed and incredibly lifelike Shark stencil. The detail in our Shark design stencil goes right down to the individual gills and the many sharp teeth. If you paint this stencil big enough, it would be easy to mistake is as real, at least at first glance, because it looks so authentic. And you can paint it big enough because we offer the stencil in a range of sizes from small to large, including the following: 5” x 6” 8.5” x 11” 18” x 12” 24” x 18” 36” x 24” 48” x 32” 55” x 35” Paint this beauty on a child's bedroom wall and create an ocean theme. Create cool wood and metal art you can sell at craft sales. Create intricate signs and posters to advertise events or even for a protest against shark finning. There is no limit to the ways you can use this Shark stencil other than those imposed by your own imagination. You can paint the shark in a traditional gray, a silvery gray, or another off-the-wall color. Just be sure you are using the right paint for the surface. You can even use fabric paint and create an awesome t-shirt any boy or girl will love. When you are ready to paint, just secure the stencil and apply the paint as a spray or with a roller or brush. That's all there is to it. Then clean and store the stencil for the next time you're feeling sharky.

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.
