I have used this paper to print out orienteering maps for canoe orienteering several times. Its a little thicker than regular paper. I use an ink jet printer. It will bleed through to the other side, but doesn't run. I don't see why it wouldn't work. It will be flexible to bend around your veggies and sturdy enough to use multiple times. The paper does not rip or tear easily.

I would think so. How are you cutting the stencils out? Are you using a cricket or some other type of processor? If you are cutting by hand I see no problems at all. I think you would be okay with the cricket too.

hmmm, not really sure! I know it isn't as 'weatherproof' as touted - the colors ran and paper deteriorated when I posted 'lost cat' pictures on poles. If you are using inside with minimal water I don't see much reason why stencils wouldn't work... good luck!

Yes. I even used a ball point pen to trace a stencil and most colors it showed up fine.

In short the answer is yes, however since it is erasable on wood it is more erasable on paper depending on the type of paper and how processed it is and how much of a smooth finish or how much if any water proofing wax they used to coat the paper. You can draw out from anything, any kind of pattern but you should use the appropriate transfer paper for your project to get the best results :)

It seemed to me that any shrinkage would be none or minimal. I used very tepid water. I think these would be the perfect medium for stenciling or fabric painting. Enjoy your project.

It's paper so you can, but I would be careful not to cut too much. You might want to practice with a piece of paper and make a fan. Use it as a test run and see how it changes after cutting it.

Hi, thanks for your question. We would not recommend you use Chalk This Way markers on fabric, as this is a porous substance by nature. Chalk Markers are best used on hard, non porous surfaces. Whilst the ink is water based, you may find it stains your fabric and for this reason we would not recommend for this purpose. Regards, Paul Davidson Chalk This Way

I am sorry I bouhht it for the use as ground sheet. Looking at it could be painted or drawn on it with markers. Water colours would probably wash off. It is a tough and light product.

I would think so. You can use the stencil on card stock for a nice outline. The stencil is to make an outline of the shape/object, there is no detail (I.e eyes, fins, leaves) you would sketch that in if you are looking for more detail.

really depends upon the ink you're using-dye vs pigmented and in combination with the paper. I would hesitate to assume that your water-based sealant would work, try it on a different print-with your inks and see what the results are. The ink in my printer is dye based and is a little more unstable than the pigment based and would bleed. The paper does a great job, but I probably look to find a different sealant-not water based. might work

This stencil vinyl is clear, and good for making a stencil to paint sayings onto wood. However, the type of paint or finish of the wood is important, as it is hard to stick the vinyl to certain types of finishes when stenciling. Modge podge is good to cover the wood/ surface for stenciling on top of. However, if you just wanted a colored vinyl to transfer to the wood, indoor/outdoor vinyl works best In any color. If you use silhouette vinyl, use the permanent kind, as the removable kind peels up easily when you remove transfer paper, without a shiny surface underneath ( hence, the usefulness of a layer of modge podge underneath. )

Potentially, depending on your skill level with doing wall stenciling. As with any wall stencil, the key is making sure you have it secured/taped in the right place and that the stencil cut is exact. I've found a heat tool like a wood burner doesn't cut/melt the exact line I want so I went back to using an Exacto knife to make sure I got the design I wanted.

Yes, but it's not very good. It never dries completely and always smudges beyond recognition. You might want to consider buying stencils separately.

I grew up in the 50s and we used window wax for stencils, but it always dried snowy white. I never knew anyone who tried dying it. I suppose you could try using food coloring as long as you are using it on glass and see what happens. It couldn't hurt anything.

I don't see why you couldn't use them to draw as they do not spread or run once they are applied; I use them to mark on fabric so can only theorize on the results on paper.

I have had great success cutting very detailed stencils on Yupo. It is a 100% Polypropylene 104 lb sheet that watercolor artist use. You can buy it in an 9x12 pad. I use the translucent.

I am not sure I ordered or used this exact product. The stencil I cut, I used a craft knife that is a razor. I have also used a Cameo Silhouette machine. I bought and have not used a heat tool for cutting. It would depend on the thickness of the product you are cutting. I would test a smaller piece to see what is the best way to go about your project. Good Luck!

As far as more available tips. You will get a sheet that is in the packaging from the original manufacture that more available tips that you can order. And as far as the tips that are provided , I still haven't gone through them yet and it's been quite a while since I've had this thing. I suppose it would make a difference as far as how long they will last depending on the material your using as a back drop to cut your stencils with. Hope this helps... :-)
