Trout Fish Stencil

Trout Fish Stencil - Reusable - 7.5 MIL (190 Micron) Thick Mylar

Give a man a fish and he will eat for a day. But give him a Trout Fish stencil from Eaton Worx and he'll spend that day happily decorating his world with fishy patterns. This freshwater stencil depicts a tasty lake trout mid-jump. Use it to add a little fish-friendly touch to wood surfaces, the hull of your boat, your tackle box, your beer cooler, or any other essential fishing gear. By the time you're done, your friends will think you're as amazing at art as you are at fishing. Which is saying a lot, because you're really good at fishing. Constructed from heavy-duty 10mm Mylar, this stencil is reusable, durable and will survive a significant amount of abuse. Wash with warm soapy water or even industrial paint thinner— the material will stand up to the test. So order one, get your paint together, and spend a weekend convincing your wife that a fish stencil is exactly what the hood of your car is missing.* When you're done, snap a pic and tag us on Instagram using the hashtag #stencilrevolution for a chance to be featured on our account. We can't wait to see what you come up with. Don't forget: Eaton Worx stencils come in a wide variety of sizes. Be sure to select the right size for your creative project using the options above. Note that dimensions are listed for the entire stencil and not the artwork itself (we leave a .75” inside margin). For this reason, it may be a good idea to select one size larger than you think you need. *If she says no, tempt her with this Koi Fish stencil instead (girls love a good Koi fish, trust me.)

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.
