    Stencil Material

    Does anyone have a good source for stencil material the type I need is either clear or light tinted. The material is the type found in craft shops or Hobby lobby or Michaels. The thickness is similar to that of wall stencils. Any help would be great
    Thanks

    Stencil Material

    My local plastic supplier has polycarbonate in .015", .020", or .030 thicknesses that would work.

    Seems like most plastic suppliers would have it though, I know of 4-5
    other places around here that sell it. Available in clear or matte (sort of like frosted).

    Gary,

    That link didn't seem right. It took me to a Find:It site.
