Spray Stencil Ink for Signs.

[kern]

Randy, Would Lithochome for monuments [cemetery headstones] work for your application?

I am going to use the stencil ink for the first time this weekend. I plan to use a thin coat of shellac to prevent bleeding. After sanding off the excess do yall think that there would be enough residual shellac to prevent sikkens from sealing the board?

Same question but 50/50 tung/citrus solvent multiple layers?

[cowboy1296]

I called Sikkens and although the answer was not absolute they indicated that there might be a problem with the Sikkens not soaking into the board. But I am still interested in what yall have to say.

Just a note. Although i started this thread i've never had the chance to play with it. I get PM's about it once in a while though.

Regards
Randy

Here in Colorado the elements can be pretty harsh. I have a sign that i will be doing for outside. What are yalls thoughts about how the stencil ink will hold up?

Rick,

I live in northeast WA where the conditions go from 100's in the summer and below zero in the winter. Rain, sun beating down, etc.

I have a sign I did 7 years ago and fastened to my west facing shop door. I used Marsh stencil ink and 1 coat of Cabbot Australian Timber Oil (natural). It is just now starting to show that it needs to have a new coat of oil put on it. The stencil ink seems to be fine with little or no fading.

The stuff really holds up in my climate.

thanks for the feedback, that sounds like what i want to use. It hit a -12 here this morning. That arctic cold front slammed the whole country. Must be the first phase of global warming.

Ha Ha. Love the whole global warming drama...

We were cold but NOT that cold. Our windchill has been around -5, with air temps around 5.
