Stenciling with Photographic Films
Serviceable Stencils may be Cut from Photographic Films, and Afford a Practical Means of Making Signs and Other Forms
Photographic films make excellent material from which to cut stencils for use in marking show cards, placards, etc., as well as for other uses to which stencils are put. Pictures, or other designs to be stenciled, may be pasted to the film and the outline cut, care being taken that the design is adapted for stenciling. This is important, since frequently binding strips must be left in the design in order to make it possible to cut a satisfactory stencil from it. The films are used with the rough side down, to prevent them from slipping. A variety of subjects for stencil design may be adapted from pictures clipped from publications or other sources.—Robert Smith, New Westminster, B. C., Canada.
