Laser Cut Stencils
From CoMakingSpace Wiki
You can create intricate airbrushing or spray painting stencils with lasers!
Keno has some experience, in short:
- material
- regular printer paper is fine for single use
- thick (100 g) paper can be re-used, it just feels leathery after a while
- acetate foil is worthwhile for stencils you are going to use at least 5 times - the clear plastic also makes it easy to place (as long as you clean it between uses)
- do not use acrylic glass, it's wasteful and not flexible enough anyway
- design tips
- If you want to add text, use a special stencil font. You can find a variety using the search engine of your choice
- how to use
- prime the stencil with clear paint or your base color to seal the edges, then spray away!
