How do my stencils get here?
First class letter or parcel, with tracking. Worldwide, it takes between a week and two weeks from when they're posted.
What size should I get?
Get the smallest size that meets your application. For outdoor work, err on the larger side; artwork that's far away (on a billboard or
a wall) always looks smaller than it does when it's right next to your face at eye level. For a t-shirt--and for many indoor applications--14 x 11 is
plenty large.
Can I get a custom size?
Yes, when you order your stencil you can request the stencil from a few inches across to several feet across.
2 colors? 5 colors? 8 colors? How many color layers should I get?
Generally, the smaller number of layers you can use to get the desired effect, the better. Two-tone stencils are far quicker to paint than
stencils that have five or more tones. Three layers looks pretty good for professional portraits, and sometimes when your image has lots of distinct colors in it, 8 colors
makes the most sense. For logos, you generally want one layer per logo color.
