thehelix112 Posted December 12, 2006 Share Posted December 12, 2006 Hey, The better half got me a stencilling kit for my Birthday over a year ago. This is the first thing I've done. Excuse the mobile-phone-quality pic. Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twoeightnine Posted December 12, 2006 Share Posted December 12, 2006 How does that work? Could it be adapted for glass etching? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sparky Posted December 12, 2006 Share Posted December 12, 2006 thats cool, what does the stencil kit consist of and how does it work? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thehelix112 Posted December 13, 2006 Author Share Posted December 13, 2006 289, Not entirely sure, I've never done glass etching. I've never done any art at all before. Sparky, She put the kit together herself just from bits and pieces. Basically some spray cans, a stencil cutting tool (kinda like a soldering iron with a really thin hot tip), some stencil sheets (translucent plastic that the tool can cut), and some canvases.

X64v Posted December 13, 2006 Share Posted December 13, 2006 Wow, that's really cool. Something like that would look cool etched into the quarter window. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mario_82_ZXT Posted December 13, 2006 Share Posted December 13, 2006 Do you (or she) tag or stencil? I've been wanting to get into stenciling, a few friends do it and it looks awesome. I'm ok with a can but I rather just use markers/pens/pencils etc. I'd etch that on the driver's side quarter window Mario Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thehelix112 Posted December 13, 2006 Author Share Posted December 13, 2006 I was actually thinking it'd make a cool print(?) for a t-shirt. I'm going to try to do a 280YZ one soon. If its simple enough I'll even add in my aero-modifications. Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DavyZ Posted December 14, 2006 Share Posted December 14, 2006 Hey, The better half got me a stencilling kit for my Birthday over a year ago. This is the first thing I've done. Dave, it looks pretty darn good to me. If you use an air-brush you can control the flow of the paint a bit more--this will help in doing T-shirts. Most durable T-shirt ink is part plastic or rubber and is applied with a sqeegee (sp?) through a silk screen. However, the big name low-brow artists of the '60's & '70's used air brush ink. I'm sure there is something more durable today. You can use this good design to make some & sell 'em. Davy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twoeightnine Posted December 14, 2006 Share Posted December 14, 2006 Well the glass etching that I did a few years back ivolved covering the glass object with a vinyl tape. Draw an image on the tape. With an exacto blade, cut out the design, exposing the glass only in the design area. Then you take it to the sand blaster and (as if you were painting) waft over the exposed area lightly. The blaster would scuff the exposed area frosting it. When one pulled off the rest of the protective tape, you would have your design etched in the glass. Got blaster? 289,Not entirely sure, I've never done glass etching. I've never done any art at all before. Sparky, She put the kit together herself just from bits and pieces.
