Hello gang! I have a wild idea up my sleeve on distributing a very particular style of stencil that isn't currently available right now. I'm on the lookout for a place that can offer the product and distribution help. I don't want these to be decals, but rather reusable plastic stencils. Would anyone have any leads at all? Thanks in advance if you do!

Here's an idea. Get someone with a router table to route them out of 1/8" foam PVC or .040 aluminum with the centers connected. -------------------- Brent Logan Reno, NV

If you want lots of the same and want to keep the unit cost down, check with a box manufacturer and have them die-cut. -------------------- Duncan Wilkie aka signdog http://www.comsign.ca Edmonton, Alberta, Canada

Donna, some auto paint stores stock stencils, why not check them out if you can and get a manufacturer's name and contact them? Just a thought, Peace, Don -------------------- Donald Miner ABCO Wholesale Neon 1168 Red Hill Creek Dobson, NC

You can cut them yourself on a plotter- material from Bren Inc- we use Synthetic Stencil Board. Takes a lot of force tho. Gene -------------------- Gene Uselman ABC Sign & Graphic 10501 Hwy 65 NE Blaine, MN
