Print the paper, cut out the images, spray the back with light adhesive and let it sit to get tacky, then apply to the surface. From what I remember reading, the light adhesive should seal well enough, but still be able to peel off cleanly. --- End quote --- That sounds good for simple stencils, but won't work for the ghosts because if you cut out out the shapes first, you get multiple parts, some of them quite small, that you'd have to position exactly right on the surface. Hence my approach of sticking everything on the surface first, then cutting the shapes out. For this, spray adhesive might work. It would certainly make cutting the paper easier. Cutting through paper, protective vinyl and a film of adhesive for 2 to 3 hours straight became really painful towards the end. --- End quote --- Yeah I believe for this very reason I had those breaks in the lines of the silver paint in my second picture above. The logo had small details in the middle that the stencil had to line up to. Instead of trying to position the “floating” details , I anchored them by connecting those small details to the main shapes. After painting and removing the stencil, I used a fine brush to paint in those disconnecting lines, as seen in my third image. This idea is similar to having to remove the posts from 3D prints after they’re printed. The “posts” of the stencil helps anchor and position those inner details that would be difficult to stencil by themselves. |
