probably won't hold up outdoors in bad weather for too long though.
maybe use clear packing tape over the label sticker as a "laminate" to help them last a bit longer?

The ones with a bunch of islands can still be cut, it just takes a little bit of forward thinking while cutting it. As opposed to cutting out ~all~ the negative space, you have to "imply" certain details like hairlines and whatnot, and leave the rest up to the viewer's mind to complete. So what if they envision an 18 tentacled bear after the detail that you implied, the truth is, most people will see hair where a hairline has been defined.

>>173865

>>173896

I did it, here, just to see if it could be done and make a semi-passable result. There's more than one way to skin a cat, this is "technically" art, so there really is no bounds to what you can do, creatively. Anybody who tells you otherwise is an idiot.

This is /diy/. When "doing it yourself," some things require critical thinking and planning, and if that isn't your deal, you might want to look into getting some help from someone who "gets it."

I know most people come here an ask about storage container ideas and projects that will never be completed due to lack of funds or motivation, but there are some seriously knowledgeable and helpful people here. Don't let some dumb butthurt, untalented cunt tell you that you can't do something because you don't do it his way.

Be creative, and HAVE FUN.

Normally you're cutting the black, so I inverted the picture in photoshop. You Obviously can't cut the ENTIRE "Paul Baribeau" square out, or else it'd fall out.

The white space on the R's, and A's will need bridges, as well as the center of O.


Just think practically, is something going to fall out if you cut it all the way out? If yes, then leave a bridge... or two... or three. Too many looks like shit, so... y'know?

50 bucks seems a little bit steep, dont you think?

[TehLuthier !!1CDyJZ5Snbd No.174436]

Oh, it IS steep. I had to pick my jaw up when I went looking for the shit the first time. A hundred sheets will do a lot of work, though. I've used about 60 since the original Stencil thread, I've done most every one that has been posted. I just wanted some serious practice, I'm surgical accurate with an exacto, now, needless to say.

Anyways, It's the best thing to use. It's reusable as a stencil, easy to cut, and it's not going to get soft like paper stencils and whatnot.

PRACTICE on paper, you don't want to fuck up too many times at .50$ a sheet, you know? There has to be alternatives, but I was hasty and wanted to get to work.

It would work for one-time use stencils, but if you want to spray it multiple times, paper just doesn't cut it. (HAHAHAHAHA.)

If you want perfect lines, you can cut on STICKER paper, cut out your negative space, stick it, spray it, and peel it for a defined and perfect lines. Once, again, one time use.

Acetate/overhead projector deals in printer sizes are really the only way I can think of to get reusable stencils.

With normal computer paper I get at least 5 sprays out of them. With this stuff it'll last even longer.

[Anonymous No.174658]

>>174643
It's funny because you and me have like opposite problems.

For instance, I don't like to use acetate because it dulls my blades quicker and I'm not able to get detailed enough cuts. Maybe my acetate was too thick? Idk, but paper works great for me, has for years.

[neon No.174696]

[TehLuthier !!1CDyJZ5Snbd No.174706]

>>174656

Perhaps I'm exaggerating. 5 uses isn't bad, but... if I'm spraying a lot, Acetate/mylar will get me as many as I want. You can just acetone off the paint and get it back to clear, if so inclined.

I cut that Golgo13 stencil with all the islands on computer paper, sprayed it once, and it seems fine. I'll shoot it many times over the next couple days just to see how many I can get before it gets unusable physically, or my lines start to get soft.

>>174658

I change blades often, it's akin to sharpening a pencil. Dull isn't an issue. If you want to get longer use out of blades, get a fine bench stone and give it a few passes in some oil to hone it back... strop it afterwards. I'm kind of a faggot, so I just toss them into my "used sharps" section, and if I ever need to cut something that isn't so exact, the rest of the blade is perfectly useable. Every time I'm out, and I just so happen to walk by the blade aisle, I grab a pack or two. Two bucks on top of whatever I'm going to buy doesn't hurt my feelings.

I also use single edged razors, a hundred of them is like four bucks at Harbor Freight, HF is great for disposables. Cheap, sharp, and at roughly .02 cents a blade, you can't go wrong. They're harder to maneuver, but once you get used to it... easy a pie.

Those overhead sheets are thin, but not ~too~ thin... if you find some for cheap, grab 'em and try.
