Stencil Spider™ Tutorial - Stop using spray adhesive!

[@melstampz]

Such an amazing idea. Thanks for sharing it. Love that it eliminates an environmental hazard & a health hazard. Sprays give me insane headaches, but it also saves money. You're a genius.

Fantastic Invention, Absolute Genius! Been dealing for years with troublesome Spray Adhesive for years. Too much spray adhesive and you'll destroy underneath layers, leave a residue and risk destroying your stencil and smearing wet paint trying to peel it off. Too little spray adhesive and you risk getting bleeding and overspray where fine details haven't stuck down properly. Re-positioning and fine adjusting the stencil to get the right registration was near on impossible, especially if you're doing multiple layers. You have to wait for the adhesive to reach proper tackiness then, if you've found the perfect balance and you sprayed and it turned out OK, you have to deal with the permanent stickyness which makes it troublesome in storing your stencil. So I made some spiders and the results turned out great! It just took a bit more time making sure the thin bridges and fine details were held down but this so much easier, perfect clean lines and removing the stencil was a cinch. Fuck man I'd patent this, it's simple, cheap and works so well. Just an idea you could 3D print a ton of these and make it so you could adjust the length and swivel the legs around. Unfortunately this only works if your working in a horizontal surface, if your spraying on a wall or a vertical surface (I guess that's the definition of wall: 'a vertical surface') you'll still need spray adhesive, but a great idea to de-tacky a spray adhesive coated stencil is to coat it with baby powder or bi-carb soda and rub it off later. Thanks heaps!

Man I love your work, and I had a lot of trouble on my last stencil because of spray adhesive. I'm really paranoid about the layers not being held down properly, but seeing how great of a result you can achieve with this... I'll definitly try it out on my next one !

Sweet idea.. I love how they sit off of the surface too, definitely doing this!

[@danthemakerman]

Awesome idea totally going to make some of these, thanks for sharing.

And I thought you welded these together....thanks for the video man!!

[@AnthonyAspero]

Thank you for watching!

[@Venom44]

So badass! I am gonna make a ton of these! Thanks man!

[@AnthonyAspero]

Thanks man! I hope you find them useful. I can't work without them anymore :)

[@ruggedstash]

Nice dude, nearly exactly how I do it but I made 4 legs and stuck with blutack, yours looks more stable and easier.

[@AnthonyAspero]

Thanks man. Yeah at first I made them with four legs, too, but they are much easier to control with only three. Thanks for watching!

[@jerryderr8043]

Brilliant! I'm going to try this!

*Nunca pensei q tinha como fabricar essas "aranhas" vlw merci beaucoup 👍👍👍👍👍*

I thought I was going to see you paint spiders with these. Was a little disappointed. 10/10 Cool idea though.

[@Ace4930]

Hey just curious why you don't use adhesive. Does it ruin your paint layers?

[@AnthonyAspero]

+Sean O'Neill Thanks for watching! I hate adhesive; it's difficult to adjust layers, and can damage stencils that might otherwise be reused. Plus it adds more time to the painting process.

damn ... that profit.
