One Side Done






Well it took some time buy I finally figured out how to make decent stencils. I tried a lite frisket material with a tacky back first, but it was to flimsy to use for the cabinet artwork. The firsket would stretch and tear, and would also stick to itself making it a pain to work with. I ended up getting some tracing paper, tracing out all of the artwork, then transferring it all onto some .05 mill thick plastic acetate. Cutting out the stencil from the acetate was not much fun but it worked. Next up is trying to get the stencil to lay flat on the cabinet so you do not get to much over spray. I think that so far it has turned out O.K. Now on to getting the other side done, and the bottom half of the cabinet will be complete.
