Video transcript

  1. 0:00A spray stencil is a masking sheet. Design it before cutting.
  2. 0:05Spray pushes mist at every cut edge; if the sheet lifts, it creeps underneath. Keep edges flat, islands connected, and a border to catch drift.
  3. 0:16Bridges tie each island to the sheet. Too thin, they tear; misplaced, letters misread. Put them on the thickest strokes, aligned in one band, never through a Q's tail.
  4. 0:28Overspray adds a halo to every edge. Choose open counters, even heavy strokes and looser spacing. Size the border to the site; spray light coats.
  5. 0:39Each coat shrinks and pulls the sheet. Thin film curls first; curled sheets bleed. Pavement takes heavy polyethylene. Flex dried latex off; store flat.
  6. 0:50Check bridges at painted size, and check your site's rules.
  7. 0:55Send your artwork for a PET stencil proof and quote.
