Transparent plastic paper!, by seidbereit on May 10, 2008 19:45:28 GMT 1, Eh?
Plastic is plastic, paper is paper. Never heard of plastic paper.
Do you mean the stuff used for overhead projectors? If so, any office supplies place should have it.

you can get a laminator for £10 in Maplin and some sellotape. I find card is nicer to cut though, doesn't slip.

I tend to find card curls a lot when sprayed, so its only good for one use? What card you using?

Transparent plastic paper!, by curiousgeorge on May 10, 2008 20:20:20 GMT 1, Anyone tried the super duper (not for the u.k market) high power laser pens?
I know a guy who has one not sure why he has it, but for novelty value he was showing off with it and bursting ballons perhaps 300 meters away.Dangerous in the wrong hands i reckon

yeah I did have that problem once when buying a pack a 'stephens' card.........it was sort of pourus (?)
breaks your heart to spend hours cutting only for it to turn to shit.
I get mine loose from a stationers, slighty shiny feel to it. can't remember the gsm.

I'll give that a try, thanks CM 
I read somewhere a little while back that Logan Hicks uses oil board - I take it this is quite similar to it?
I've used acetate in the past but find it curls at the edges and becomes quite brittle after a bit of use. Now I just use good old 2mm corrugated kraft board. Can be tricky to cut and not great for detailed stencils but excellent for large scale and repeated use.

Transparent plastic paper!, by Jef Aerosol on May 10, 2008 21:33:22 GMT 1, it's funny how you guys always look for some very sophisticated equipment when some good old cardboard works very well (it's worked for me for 25 years, at least !)

I think it's a matter of trial and error until you find what works for you.
