We are currently using our Epilog laser to cut 14mil Mylar for stencils. The best way we've come up with so far is to tape the surface, cut, and then peel the tape off the finished stencils. Has anyone found a better way? The taping and tape removal is very labor intensive.

We've considered a desktop plotter, but the versions that will provide enough force (300g) are very expensive.

Does anyone have any experience with using a plotter or have the perfect laser settings that won't require cleaning burnt edges?

My cramped hands thank you in advance!!
