MAKING A STENCIL FROM OILED MANILLA

• Oiled manila is great for making stencils as it cuts very cleanly with no frays to give a very straight cutting line even after spray painting.
• It is also suitable for laser cutting so the artwork can be computer drawn.
• We stock various sized sheets of Oiled Manilla.
