|  Good material for stencils?
I've made a few stencils now mainly out of manila folder material, and I am unhappy with them. I want something that will be some what flexible so that it can bend around some of the body contours, but I would like to be able to clean the dried paint off of it without destroying it as well. Any ideas? |

These are generally given out for free and work awesome. Call your local hospital, etc. and ask for any throw away x-ray film. Use xacto to cut your shape or have some vinyl decals made (;)) and trace them out on the film...

The stuff artists use is called "friskit", either as a thin film sheet that is low tack on one side, or a liquid you brush on and cut and peellike liquid mask, found at most art or craft stores.

frisk and vinyl are about the same thing except one costs more. i personally do a lot of airbrushing on gas tanks and don't like liquid masks or laytex for that matter. I do like the stretchable material, and vinyl but frisk is just too much for the amount you get, imo. did you check the prices at http://www.coastairbrush.com/products.asp?cat=23? |
