I want to make stencils for crafts to paint on wood - what type of clear firm plastic can I buy for it?

The short answer is that just about anything you could cut with an XACTO knife. A longer answer is that there are several vinyl and mylar options with or without an adhesive back. I mostly just use transparency film. I have a bunch of it and it works fine.

I've been happy with the premium (japanese) mortise chisels from lee valley. You can probably use any brand successfully if you have enough time to re-hone the chisels.

I have used several different materials, but any plastic will probably work. For example, I've used vinyl transfer letters with great success. I've also used a sheet of laminating plastic, then cut out the areas I want etched with a sharp knife. I've also used a wide strip of scotch tape (the kind used to seal shipping boxes). Just be sure to get thorough contact between the mask and the glass to be etched, with no wrinkles or gaps. And for really complicated designs, you can buy all sorts of transfer stickers online.

I suggest going to a place that specializes in Plexiglass and have a piece of that cut to fit the difference between where the window kit ends and the top of the slider. Go for a bit thicker than thinner so it doesn't bend easily, plus it will look nicer during the daylight hours than a solid item like wood... We have a Tap Plastics out here in Northern California - Good luck!

If you mean stencil sheets the type that have openings/holes in them, no you can't. These floral sheets r plastic n stiff and have no openings. The best u can do with them is to place the sheet on ur rolled fondant n gumpaste and press or roll out. Or u can decide to place it on a cake that has been FRESHLY covered with fondant but these sheets won't bend to the sides because its stiff and can break. If you have more questions, do send me a mail pzeus@ymail.com.

I use plastic or silicone just because it seems like I should. Wood would be fine, too.

That is just a paper insert so you can better see the shape. The actual stencils are plastic.

I use this glue to put flat back rhinestones on painted plastic and they stick like cement. You should have no problem with paper.

Pliable plastic. Luckily the plastic is pretty thick, so it'll take some time for it to warp. But it can be slightly flimsy if you apply pressure onto the tip. But with some modifications you can make it so it won't bend as much.

I don't know, maybe you could contact the manufacturer. I use mine for craft projects.

I would think something like... E6000 237032 Craft Adhesive, 2 oz, Clear this would be a better choice for that.

No. Don't use this on plastic. If you're good with a brush, consider getting copic white opaque ink. Look on jetpens.com for that item (and better prices).

I bought my daughter double sided circular adhesives from a craft store. Good luck.

I have had great success cutting very detailed stencils on Yupo. It is a 100% Polypropylene 104 lb sheet that watercolor artist use. You can buy it in an 9x12 pad. I use the translucent.

I've been using the Clear Casting Epoxy from EasyCast. Got it at Hobby Lobby, little cheaper then Amazon. Don't need to get their easy release mold spray, just use my fingers and thumbs to release it from the mold.

Any good double sided tape will work. My wife sells Stampin' Up! and their craft double sided tape works nicely. Avoid a cheap adhesive.
