Waves Stencil

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

If you've ever been near the ocean or a large lake, you know the sound of the waves gently lapping on the shore and probably the sound of big waves crashing in, as well. The sound of waves and the feel of bobbing in them is soothing and something we all tend to love. And now you can bring the beauty and calming effect of waves into your DIY art and decor projects with our incredible Waves stencil. The Waves stencil depicts three separate waves rolling along the surface of the water, giving a fabulous nautical experience you can play with in your projects. Perhaps you want these waves to wash up onto a beach on the set of a play. Or maybe you will paint a boat in behind the waves. You can create a gorgeous wall boarder with this stencil or combine it with something like our Welcome To Our Beach House stencil or Compass stencil to create a larger, more intricate and unique design. We make all of this and more possible, in part because you can literally paint the Waves stencil design on any surface, provided you have the right paint for the job. Plus, we offer the Waves stencil in a range of sizes, so you can find just the right size for your needs. Available sizes include: 3” x 6” 5” x 11” 18” x 8” 11” x 24” 36” x 16” 48” x 22” 55” x 25” So, whether you are painting on the window of a travel or nautical supply store, painting a mural on your child's bedroom wall, or making handmade greeting cards, all you need to do is secure the right size stencil to the surface and paint. And because the stencil is 100% reusable, you definitely don't want to throw it away. Just clean it and you can tuck it away until you need it again or lend it to friends and family, so they can create their own magic.

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.
