Stencil Flexible Vinyl
Stencil Flexible Vinyl
, Reusable flexible material for Vinyl Cutter?
Very well, then someone I know has a vinyl cutter and is also an artist airbrush. He wants to know if there is any material other than the transparency that can be used to cut a stencil out. He wants something that a thin plastic, reusable, able to cope with aibrushing and do not decompose after 2 uses, and that is somewhat flexible. Does anyone have any idea how I can use?
In addition to transparency sheets, fabric stores sell various plastic weights used to cut one of own templates … and old X-ray work well too. Other possibilities such as may be "Rubylith" used for screen printing, or an old film negative, etc. On a more exotic note, very flexible blank "stickers" (without an image) can be made from liquid polymer clay, then have a short form them **. Or even the dried leaves of permanent white glue or acrylic paint may be cut after it is poured onto a glass / etc., After drying. A little more expensive would be the development of leaves of a-part silicone mold material 2. ** This is usually done on a sheet of glass or a ceramic tile / etc. and then baked for a short time in a home oven at about 300 F to cure.
