I
found stencils work well to identify machinery. I found hidden
places to stencil my name on combines and other machinery, in case
of theft. They also work well to put the name and address on the
mailbox in rural areas. These stencils can be used over and over, until
the paint build-up just dries out the stencil and it cracks.
I bought a stencil machine at an industrial sale, if anyone
wishes to have a stencil cut, download and fill out the form below
and fax or e-mail it to me, with the funds, and I will send one to
you.
Follow the instructions on the Excel Spreadsheet you can download
below, I can now cut a stencil up to 36 letters and spaces, with
four lines. I often attend Mikeworth's
Swap meet, if you are local, so you could save shipping charges.
Or, pick it up at my shop.
I now have the material to make four line stencils, up to 51
spaces and letters per line. This material is 48" long,
and a stencil made from it costs five dollars for the material and
five cents per letter and space.
The 24" stencil board that can make four lines of text costs
four dollars, plus five cents per letter and space. You can
use up to 24 letters and spaces for this board.
The 24" stencil oil board with only three lines costs three
dollars, plus five cents per letter and space. You can use up
to 18 letters and spaces for this board.
I still have available a 12" oil board that only cost a
dollar, plus five cents per letter and space. You can use only
10 letters and spaces on this board. This small board is used often
for a last name, to identify tools such as shovels and others with a
long handle.
The picture below shows the battery on my laptop with a painted
stencil, then another on the body of the laptop. Note that the
quality of the spray paint nozzle used often affects the quality of
the job. I sometimes forget, and used partial cans of paint
that have bad or partly clogged nozzles.
