Hey buddy :) I've been doing some airbrushing, and then dabbed into actual brushing landscapes, both acrylic paints. There are some cons and pros for both, first airbrushing very fine stuff, like foliage in the distance, that's gonna take a lot of practice, and a LOT of patience, dabbing one dot at a time for the leaves. With a fan brush (there are various types) the ones that are really spread out with a few hairs on a strand at a time, you can quickly make those dots. But the disadvantage of that is they're round and you're bound to make round patterns all over the trees. The other fan brushes, I learned the trick to make leaves, one dab, one leaf at a time. But for a really long distance in the scenes, they're really not small enough and at times you make "blobs" if you're not careful and have to wipe them off and do it again. So I sighed and thought, "stencils", and just airbrush the leaves in which may be cheating to some. I already bought stencil sheets and a soldering iron with some different tips as someone gave me this idea. The stencils I got are cheap, clear plastics, so I have another better, stronger brand on the way. It's ok, easier to cut, easier to melt, and I can use them as palette covers on my palette, and they're very easy to clean, and if you have more, you can just set the old one aside and get a clean one. I wanted to see how stencils are done, so I watched your video and others. Thanks for sharing this video!

thanks for watching and leaving your experinces

[@blessedbless2072]

😮this is exactly what i need! Been watching vids to get some tips and idea. My,my, thank you very much!!

[@greencountrycustoms8387]

Glad it was helpful!

[@mistresskitty7186]

Honestly...thank you! I got my soldering iron yesterday. I was looking everywhere for a video to teach me how to make a stencil cus yesterday I just couldn't get it right...I put your video on and plugged my iron in...and managed to make a decent first stencil!!! Thanks!

[@greencountrycustoms8387]

Glad it helped and thanks for watching

[@fishhawklures5906]

I have a wood burner with some different tips on it and after seeing this will be making some custom stencils. Thanks for this info!

[@greencountrycustoms8387]

GREAT idea should work really well. Thanks for comment

[@goodgirlsweets7332]

I bake and decorate custom sugar cookies (don't ask how I feel down the youtube rabbit hole all the way here lol) This video was so helpful! I think I can go ahead and purchase a stencil burner so I can make stencils for my cookies instead of buying them. Thank you for the video! An overhead camera angle may help viewers to really get a good view of the cutting but we get the gist! Awesome job.

[@greencountrycustoms8387]

For sure they work very well, just keep tip clean so it doesn’t drag melted plastic along. Thanks for watching

[@lokimactavish9927]

ALSO MAKE SURE THE PLASTIC IS NON-TOXIC!!

[@mariebrooks8002]

[@mikewalters4994]

I think your Videos are Great !! I've been a Fly Tyier for years and I started Lure Painting a few weeks ago. Some of your first Videos did not have a good camera angle and the camera was to far away. But, that has improved, "thank you" for that change. Some of the first Videos that where to far away with bad angle, I wish you would re-do, cause they where good videos. Thanks for improving and taking the time to share you knowledge with us.

[@greencountrycustoms8387]

That is very true about early vids, I do plan to redo a lot of those at some point. Which ones would you recommend for me to start with? Thanks you for watching.

AWESOME IDEA , Subscribed !!

[@greencountrycustoms8387]

Thank you

[@researchmaterial4211]

Great info!

[@greencountrycustoms8387]

Glad it was helpful!

[@CajunPride777]

I'm wondering if you put a piece of glass under it while tracing if it would help with cooling the burning 🤔cant hurt to try.. Or make your stencil with acetate sheets since they are thinner you would get much cleaner lines👍

[@greencountrycustoms8387]

I will try both in future, thanks for the input. The melting build up is something that doesn’t bother me some of these flat stencils but the cleaner the lines the better.

[@scottoldham7459]

yes on the glass and the mil of the plastic does produce different outcomes.

[@miguelangelgomezmarquez308]

Gracias por aprender cosas nuevas 👍

[@j1o2s3e4p]

Can you bent Mylar with heat to have a better shape?

[@stevoncrick7078]

Love the channel, was wanting you to paint a craw pattern on 2.5 square bill but proper direction. Meaning head of craw towards the back end of bait and incorporate claws.

[@greencountrycustoms8387]

Good idea havent ever done one like that. Be some time have several weeks of scheduled vids.

[@mariad4183]

Great info! tyfs! xoxo

[@greencountrycustoms8387]

Thank you

[@daveymichael6891]

Great video. Does this let off any nasty fumes as mylar is a form of plastic and if you heated up any other type of plastic it would come with health warnings and probably not be recommended. I really want to create a few stencils but slightly worried about the effects on health. Can you advise if it's suitable for regular use.

[@greencountrycustoms8387]

No fumes that i ever noticed. No smell but I cannot advise on health warnings that may be present that i am unaware of.

[@Markisuncfan]

can you make a video on the paint booth you made and the vent motor and such?

[@greencountrycustoms8387]

Yes i think i could do some sort of DIY on that just couldnt afford the time down to tear this one apart but think i could make an interesting one so be looking in 3 weeks or so.

[@Markisuncfan]

@@greencountrycustoms8387 oh naw ... no need to tear down and rebuild. Just a minute or so to show what ya did.

[@louisliguore7199]

Does burning the stencil produce toxic fumes, and if so how do you deal with them?

[@greencountrycustoms8387]

I’m sure melting plastic does to a degree but this really doesn’t even produce much smell. But i have a small fan blowing in an open garage

[@dlmdlm7685]

I would have thought you would just free hand them mostly. What kinda brush you using?

[@greencountrycustoms8387]

Iwata eclipse

[@Greyboa45]

Which dermal tip please? Thank you

[@greencountrycustoms8387]

I don’t know to be honest i bought a set from harbor freight that are all really small but can’t read to sizes

[@axlroseraul]

what the name plastic paper you use..??

[@greencountrycustoms8387]

There is a link in the video description. But. Any stencil material will work

[@Retro-2-now]

How thick is that plastic?

[@greencountrycustoms8387]

To be honest I’m not sure, I believe i left a link in description to it from hobby lobby, its pretty thick maybe two or 3 sheets of paper thick? Just a guess if its something you need nailed done next week ill put some calipers on it.

[@Retro-2-now]

@@greencountrycustoms8387 I ordered some 6m hopefully that will be good enough. My local Hobby Lobby doesn’t have anything that thick and they are the only hobby place near me. So I ordered some from Amazon, along with the burner

[@greencountrycustoms8387]

Any stencil material will be good enough I’ve. Used milk jugs before. Honesty i prefer thinner material muck easier to place on rounded edges but just really depends on the stencil design.

[@Retro-2-now]

@@greencountrycustoms8387 yeah, I have a handful of containers, like empty packs of hooks that I’ve kept for stencil making. I was just looking for something that is a little more pliable, but still not super flimsy

[@j1o2s3e4p]

To try to make a 3D stencil

[@jstreun36]

I also have videos on making 3d stencils

[@j1o2s3e4p]

@@jstreun36 with Mylar?

[@greencountrycustoms8387]

With thermal plastic. I have not used mylar
