Armour Etch Over N Over Stencil, 1-Inch High Alphabet, 2 Pages

Easy to use with designs cleanly cut out. Cleaning the stencil was also easy, just using a slightly damp cloth to remove any remaining paint. Then it is just a case of storing the stencil somewhere- I have a few so keep them in amogst other stencils in an envelope when dry & stoore verically or horizontally amongst books.

I have used these as a basic design for personalised cards.

Love them!

If you are not going to use these very often, it is half decent. However the model of these "Armour Etch Over N Over" stencils is very rigid, and the customization is limited to each "pack" you can get. Very quickly this can become costly, and limited to what Armour Products provides. There isn't room for your own customization. There are "blanks" however I have tried redesigning one of the characters to allow more negative space and it is not very doable due to the available surface area, and would be prone to tearing. This isn't a bad set of detailed characters that offer you some accessories for lettering your glass etching. The stencils are nice, and wrap around almost evenly around your glassware.Has a rubber texture, In some spots it's difficult to lay these flat and even. Which isn't much of an issue as the adhesion is.The adhesion just does not last, somewhat expected. Thee adhesion wears off very quickly after the first time, it is usable, but not what it used to be and will get worse. Even with taking care to place the stencils back delicately and cleanly, there is still noticeable wear after use, and in some cases, like the ribbons, it can be easily torn due to the small and precise lengths of cut between the characters. As a reusable stencil, I'm pretty disappointed, but... for little over a single use it did what I wanted it to do. Even though these come with their own adhesion, I still would recommend getting masking tape to hold the stencil in and provide a barrier. I'd like to find out what could improve or restore the adhesion to these without damaging it. I am going to get some adhesive spray and do a test to see if one I do not use often holds up.I was using these for glass etching with varying results on normal household glasses to things that utilized thicker tempered glass. If you are using these for thin glass, get a short painting brush (or a kit) rather than the "sponge". The sponge will not be able to detail very well. If you are working with thicker glass it may need to sit for an extensive amount of time , about 1 -2 hr. If you are using this for thinner glass, keep the brush moving and keep it in different directions. You can try and re-use the armor etch while you are using it on the same stencil, but I would not recommend it to dump it back into the container.It will dry and clump if you are not using it quickly.If you are considering getting these. Also consider options like Other alternatives include Glossy A4 Printer Paper with self adhesion and cutting out the negative space with either a printer like a Cricuit Printer (or other like printers) and vinyl sheets. Circuits are an expensive option for one off usage, but ask around. You never know who might have one already. Or getting an exacto blade and a roll of adhesive paper and doing it manually. (difficult , but customization).

The product it self works well and are quite reusable. Just be careful when you are removing them from the sheet or the piece you are working on since there are some thin bits holding it together that felt like they would rip if I was not very gentle. I was, however, very disappointed in how it was packed and shipped. It came in a bubble mailer that was more than large enough to fit the sheets flat but the person decided it was necessary to fold them in half. Thankfully only the backing was folded but it could have damaged the stencils in the middle beyond repair.
