Stencil Film – Oramask 811

Application Instructions

– Create your design in your graphics software of choice.
– Load the vinyl into your plotter. It is best to perform a test cut before you begin making your design so that you can adjust your machine settings as needed and minimize mistakes. You can look up specific cut settings for your particular machine online if you are unsure.
– Carefully cut your design into the stencil film, and weed out any excess vinyl that you do not want to have on your stencil.
– Cover the finished stencil with transfer tape if you wish. Once the transfer tape is firmly secured to the stencil, slowly peel off the backing paper to expose the vinyl adhesive.
– Position your stencil on the desired surface, and smooth it out so that no air pockets are present.
– Starting in an upper corner, carefully peel the transfer tape downward at an angle. Make sure that the stencil is fully adhered to the painting surface as you do this. Otherwise, the transfer tape could peel up part of your stencil.
– Smooth the vinyl down one last time, starting from the center and working your way outward toward the edges.
– Paint as desired, and slowly remove the Oramask stencil from your finished piece. You may need to use a blade to remove smaller bits if your design is particularly intricate.
