Will this work for making paint masks

Recommended Posts

Hello everyone,

I have been lurking around for awhile and I think I am ready to pull the trigger.  I was to get a cutter so that I can make paint masks for spraying designs/logos on game boards.  Stencils will generally be about 18"x18".  I will eventually get into cutting decals but for the time being I will mostly be making stencils.

This is what I have in my cart:

Not sure on what cutting software is compatible with mac, not all of it is so double check on that.

Paint mask is good, I recommend r-tape for transfer tape (never had any experience with the greenstar though so it might be just as good, I just know r-tape is the best I've used).

Roller applicator is a waste of money unless you are doing rivets and such IMO.  Squeegees work for flat surfaces much better.

I actually use the greenstar paper app tape as an airbrush paint mask because they don't stick very well, makes it super easy to peel off.
