Full Version: Stencil questions

The letters are going on a post, ground level, outside a store. It needs to be painted because it's a very high traffic area. I don't want someone peeling it off. I found a stencil vinyl that has a very low tack adhesive, so I'll be testing it this weekend. The vinyl is made for this application.
I was told by a friend who does a lot of vinyl that I can use a hairdryer to loosen the adhesive. It will not generate enough heat to peel the existing paint. I will also be testing this.
I also printed a bunch of sample letter sizes so that I can pick the right letter sizes.
The letters will be painted in a vertical line down a round pillar. It will be about six feet long.

Let us know how the hair dryer works. As someone else stated, you want to remove the stencil before the paint is too dry. (Hopefully the glue won't take "that" long to soften.)
