The HD stencil System utilizes a thin flexible self-adhesive film material specially designed for this purpose, featuring the following properties.
- Its is self-adhesive, but with low tac, to help stop it peeling paint from your models
- Solvent proof.
- Has a moderate amount of stretch to help it go in and around complicated details.
- Transparent, so you can see exactly where you are putting it, but slightly grey so you can still see it.
HD stencils are best used with an airbrush, but some spray cans may be used if care is taken, and they are a thin spray like many primers (gloss sprays will not work well).
Some designs can also work well when used with a sponge to apply the paint.
