KSassassin Posted April 15, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 15, 2015 Oh I read as much as I can. I wish I could just find where to buy the plastic to form my own stencils. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonister Posted April 15, 2015 Report Share Posted April 15, 2015 I use a milk carton. take the big ones and cut the flat sides out of it. you can use a heat gun to help bend it or vacuum it. The good of this is you can go through plenty without worrying about cost and if you mess up than just drink some more milk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crab05 Posted April 15, 2015 Report Share Posted April 15, 2015 EBay is where I picked mine up, but I've been having everyone save milk jugs now lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vodkaman Posted April 15, 2015 Report Share Posted April 15, 2015 I think the best material is called PetG for vacuum forming. I am not saying that you need to get into VAC forming to get this to work. As mentioned above by Jonister, judicial application of heat and a bit of practice should get the job done. I did a lot of research into VAC forming several years ago and petG stuck in my head. Dave 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
