You And Me Ampersand Stencil

You And Me Ampersand Stencil - Reusable - 7.5 MIL (190 Micron) Thick Mylar

Sometimes, when two people are meant for each other, it's completely obvious. Nothing fancy needs to be said. Simplicity is the best thing. After all, you know how you feel, right? Well, we figured you'd also want to give your wedding decor and expressions of love a feel of simplicity, which is why we created the You And Me Ampersand stencil. This stencil depicts exactly that – “You & Me.” The words “you” and “me” are written in a lovely font and they are small compared to the huge ampersand that is in the middle of the design. How fun is that? And you can do so many things with it. Even though it's among our collection of Wedding stencils, this stencil can be used in so many situations. It certainly can be used to honor the bride and groom, perhaps set up as a tasteful piece of art on the head table at the wedding. But it can also be used to represent and honor best friends, close family, or any other two people who work well together. All you need is the right paint for the surface on which you are painting, whether that is paper, wood, metal, plastic, or another surface. And of course, you need the right size of stencil for the job. Choose from the following 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, no matter which “you & me” you want to honor, painting this design is super easy. Just secure the stencil and brush, roll, or spray the paint on. The image will come out looking beautiful and your cleanup will be so easy, you'll be pleasantly surprised. Washing and storing this reusable stencil away is all there is to it.

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.

• Medium Weight. Feels as thick as card stock
• 7.5 Mil (0.19 mm) thickness
• Very flexible for tight curves and cylinder shapes

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.
