Union Jack Stencil

Union Jack Stencil - Reusable - 7.5 MIL (190 Micron) Thick Mylar

The Union Jack is the flag of the great United Kingdom. It represents the founding country of a great many others, such as the U.K. and Canada. The Union Jack is colored red, white, and blue. It is made up of the red St. George's Cross, the red diagonal St. Patrick's Cross, the white diagonal St. Andrew's Cross. And of course, Brits fly it with pride. And we have captured the beauty of this flag with perfection with our Union Jack stencil. If you are from the UK, have visited and fallen in love with the country, or just love the Union Jack, you are in luck. You can now have this symbol to create your own DIY art and decor. Paint this onto fabric to make your own flag. Paint it onto t-shirts. Paint it onto your mailbox or create art you can hang inside or outside your home. You can even use it to ice a cake because the stencil is food-grade quality. Regardless of what you choose to do with it, you need to be sure of two things. First, make sure you are using the right paint for the medium. After all, you don't want to use fabric paint on a metal mailbox. And make sure you get the right stencil size for your project. We offer it in a range of sizes, including: 5” x 6” 5” x 11” 18” x 12” 24” x 18” 36” x 24” 48” x 32” 55” x 35” With this in mind, you might be thinking stenciling with the Union Jack stencil will be difficult and time-consuming. Nothing could be further from the truth! All you need to do is secure the stencil flat to the desired surface and paint. Then wash the stencil in warm, soapy water and tuck it away for another day.

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.
