Hello DB…how are you?
First…thanks for the post.
Next…you just covered it all. ( No pun intended. )
Or…I can say…yes…you’re right…concerning all you said.
Bottom Line…there’s more than one way to skin a cat. AND…different jobs can be stenciled differently.
Therefore…no one way.
I’ve sold (10) HC stencils to two different users. One had 168 HC on the same job. The other had hundreds to spray.
Next…I have customers who order sets and sets of 12″ Numbers. I have others who order the Doubles…and also Triples. All of it stems from dripping…wiping down…etc. ( And it’s a time saver. )
Next…we’ve all wiped off in the grass. I’ve even started…”down on that end”…so when the stencil got drippy…I would end up by the lawn…behind a tree.
I’ve also had a job that had 20 HC. IT was only a 60 car lot…! It was for a gym for heart patients. BUT…that Sunday was so hot…I sprayed a few…sprayed the gores…sprayed some lines…”repeat process”…and got done.
Again…no two jobs are exactly alike.
DB…you aren’t doing anything wrong. Just pick your weapon.
Oh…I have a job that has 90 VISITOR stencils…( that picture is on my FaceBook …) SO…I cut (2) additional VISITOR stencils BUT…from the 60 Mil = thin plastic to use along with my 125 Mil VISITOR stencil.
( You can buy additional stencils…but choose if you want thick or thin material…as “extras”. )
Last…I have a product I call “The Stencil Scraper”… that I use. It’s in prototype.
Hang in there. Pick your weapons. It’s just the job.
And…congrats on the work.
Did I help? I hope so. Let me know.
Dan
