I couldnt remember and had to look up the difference between cast vinyl vs. calendered vinyl, and I'm still not sure other then cast vinyl is generally a little thinner making it easier to mold and calendered vinyl is maybe less expensive but primarily for indoor use. Which I guess is what would...

I have both a pounce kit and an overhead projector...I do like the pounce method. With spray glue, it does leave a lot to clean up. This job is getting passed to me by a stencil artist, so I was prolly just following his lead in that line of thinking. I think I will pounce this pattern. As...

Lettering In the past I have used casting vinyl as a stencil on similar jobs, especially is there was a lot of small detail. With this I was thinking it might be just as easy, and cheaper, to print out a black and white hand-cut stencil on a 42" printer that I have. Use 3M adhesive to hold...

Gino, thank for all the great feedback. Yup, I got prep work to do. I painted houses for a lil over a year when I was 18 so I'm familiar with prepping the surface to create a good foundation for the paint to adhere to as it cures. I do have a question of clarification about the process you...
