Looking For a supplier for Stencil material.
Not Vinyl but the brown looking stuff. where you cut out the letters and use it over and over again. Or a Vendor that will cut them out for you.

Thanks Ray [I Don t Know]

I just talked to harbor sales, one of the suppliers I use. They will cut out anything I need for 4.95 a Sq ft. min of 5 sq ft.
Made from a Poly something, like thin plastic I think.
I may have these guys do it for 25.00 and charge 50.00 and never touch it.
It's for a Hunt club and they don't want to spend any money, if they don't have to.
Looking for the cheapest way out, theirfore I do not want to put a lot of time in it. Or the expense of a roll, and have the rest as left over,which I may be stuck with.
I think this may do the trick.
Thanks for your reply so soon.

get someone with a router to cut them in a light
gauge aluminum.

Hiya Ray,
It's probably polystyrene. It works well as a stencil.
Don't forget that harbor quotes routering and material costs seperately. To be safe, I always send the file to the cut shop and have them quote it.

Cheers,

Checkers

...Ray, I use old plastic sheets of (Letraset) press-type. I have tons of it that I will never use for rubbing down letters again.

Ray,
I have ordered several different stencils from Stencils On Line. I just create the file and email it to them and they cut it. They laser cut the stencils and can do decorative type stencils also. I have been very pleased with their product.They are located in Franklin,NH.

Good catch, Billy Bob. Bet lots of folks have that stuff and would like to get some use of it. How do you set it up on a plotter?
