member9354 Posted April 22, 2007 Share Posted April 22, 2007 is using sandpaper advisable? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sk8er6 Posted April 22, 2007 Share Posted April 22, 2007 for smoothing out cuts in cardboard, sure, but not for cutting the stencil itself.(im sure you didn't mean that) Use a very fine grit, and make sure it doesn't affect your other layers if you have more than one.

nbamlbballer Posted April 26, 2007 Share Posted April 26, 2007 man i thought no one would think of the sandpaper trick, guess im wrong. That shit works really good though, just make sure that you can control the paper, you should try to wrap it on a pencil or something for the real fine edges.

Syfr Posted May 6, 2007 Share Posted May 6, 2007 I use that plastic shit that they use for a politician's sign like "This way to office of _____" During elections. I find that you can scissor it easy, exacto would break, but if you want something that will last forever. That's it. I used cardboard, and my only problem was I cut shit too thin. I'll toss up the flicks that I have of my stencil. http://i174.photobucket.com/albums/w113/Bbookshit/Stencils/100_0671.jpg Very first stencil. Love not war. Made before I read this thread, I used my flip out knife to cut. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

riceboy89 Posted June 17, 2007 Share Posted June 17, 2007 i use transparency sheets. theyre pretty durable and u can tape them together for making bigger stencils. my question is, whats the best way to carry them around? i mean after i spray mine, i end up putting them in a binder with dividers but they just end up getting stuck to the dividers and theyre a bitch to peel off.
