Stencils

Where do you guys find the stencils?I like the set Scott and Tooter have (job 120),but all I seem to find is off the wall stuff.

Hey Rex,
I ordered all mine from coastairbrush. Ordered quite a few lately

Also ordered a W100 (Iwata) gun from them....great gun for flames and graphics.

I make my own stencils out of bussiness card paper or stencil blanks from a local craft store. I try not to reuse stencils that way every job is a bit more unique.

Great,thanx guys.I suck at drawing so I'm not much on making my own.Maybe if I'm lucky I'll get better with age,but the wife says I'm nothing like wine

Hey Rex,
the Craig Fraser templates are about the only cool ones I've seen that you can get pre-made.
If you suck at drawing, you can find some good reference pics and stuff online, download the pic, size it accordingly and print it, then trace it with some transparent acetate or mylar and cut out your stencil with the X-acto or something.
Try hitting up a blueprint shop and see if they'll sell you a couple sheets of mylar.

Speaking of Stencils and Mylar...anyone have a good reference for some 3X10 peices of mylar (or any similar size) in about 2 or 3-mil thicknesses? I bought a pack of 150 sheets about 5 years ago and have been using them for very detailed intricate work, but am running out and cannot find them anywhere...any ideas?
