Capt'n Morgan 54 Posted August 27, 2014 I purchased some Anchor T227 BlastLite Stencil, 22 mil, Smooth Painted & Glass, medium tack, 20" x from US Cutter and it works GREAT but is hard to weed. I also purchased some Sandblast Stencil - 12 mil That is easy to weed but is stiff and doesnt have hardly any sticky to it. So little infact the stencil lifts right off the paper when being cut with the Graphtec in spots! (They are sending me a new roll) The surface I am useing it on is glass, and I clean it with Alchohol before applying so I know its clean. The mask still wants to lift off the glass. Does anyone have any reccomendations for a good thin blast mask thats easy weeding and sticky? Thanks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
outlaws 102 Posted August 27, 2014 Have you tried regular vinyl? That's what I use but I am only using an air eraser. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rlvied 292 Posted August 27, 2014 Capt'n I always use Avery paint mask. They make two different types, a regular and a high temp. I use the regular one. I put it on the glass then weed it I have never had any problems with it 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
npace 110 Posted August 27, 2014 Scraps of 651 work great for mask! I like using white for the cuts, colors for excess coverage, seems to make seeing the blast area easier. Then again, I don't have 18 year old eyes. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
smendlik 113 Posted August 27, 2014 What npace said. I have used 651 with no issues on my a glass. The key I have found is to make sure to rub it down reall good before peeling the app tape off. You can then use the app tape to protect areas of the glass you do not want to etch!! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Capt'n Morgan 54 Posted August 28, 2014 Thanks for the suggestions! MaryJane My Weeding & Application Specialist loves the Oracal 651 Gives a finer more detailed line. On ceramic Coffee Mugs need a lil thicker material tho. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

knucklehead 530 Posted August 28, 2014 Even if USC sends you a new roll of the 12 mil sandblast mask, it's still gonna be CRAP. They could send a hundred rolls, and guess what? Use some 631, or paintmask. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
