clemmy Posted April 15, 2008 Report Share Posted April 15, 2008 Het All, Does anyone have a lead on where you can get a metal paint stencil made with a lure name? What I'm thinking of is like the old Heddons, etc. used to have. All I can find are people that do the big stencils in metal like safety signs, etc. I do have a Japanese lure making book that shows a maker using one, but of course the description is in Japanese! thanks, Clemmy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mark poulson Posted April 16, 2008 Report Share Posted April 16, 2008 I think you may have more luck finding a decal that you can have your signature printed on, and then clear it onto your lure. Most signatures have overlaps that make stenciling difficult. I do not know of a decal supplier, but I do know it is an existing technology, and is used by lure makers.

Striperknight Posted April 16, 2008 Report Share Posted April 16, 2008 Looking into having a rubber stamp made. I saw a lure maker had one of these made and it was cool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Palmetto Balsa Posted April 16, 2008 Report Share Posted April 16, 2008 It can be done. A laser can cut the sheet metal the way you want it. I have a friend that has about 50+ stencils cut for his baits. They work good but only to an extent. I think it would give your baits the signature you are looking for. Try to contact someone that has a laser cutter in a welding job. They should be able to use a piece of paper with your logo and cut it the exact same way. I would get 4 or 5 done in SS at the same time because the little detailed areas can get bent or fall out easy if you are not careful. I don't know the person that does it.

Tman2 Posted April 17, 2008 Report Share Posted April 17, 2008 While looking for airbrush tattoo paint for my daughter, I seem to remember coming across sites that offered custom stencils. I didn't pay much attention to it at the time, but that might be something that would work, and at less cost. This is one I found... Design your own speciality tat stencil - TAT Store I just searched custom airbrush stencils on Google. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
