 * CHOOSING THE RIGHT PARKING LOT STENCILS FOR ANY PROJECT
   
   MEN AND WOMEN NEED TO KNOW WHAT TO LOOK FOR WHEN PURCHASING PARKING LOT
   STENCILS. THREE THINGS MUST GO INTO THE DECISION-MAKING PROCESS: THE MATERIAL
   USED FOR THE STENCIL, THE THICKNESS, AND THE EDGE DISTANCE. WHAT DO
   INDIVIDUALS NEED TO KNOW ABOUT THESE ATTRIBUTES?
   
    
   
   
   MATERIAL
   
    
   
   WHEN RESEARCHING A STENCIL MANUFACTURER, LEARN WHAT MATERIALS THEY USE IN THE
   MAKING OF THE STENCILS. THE PREFERRED MATERIAL CONTINUES TO BE LOW-DENSITY
   POLYETHYLENE PLASTIC (LDPE), AS IT IS STRONG AND FLEXIBLE. CLEANING THE
   PLASTIC TAKES LITTLE TIME, AS ANY OVERSPRAY POPS OFF WHEN DRY. AVOID
   HIGH-DENSITY POLYETHYLENE BECAUSE IT LACKS FLEXIBILITY. LOW-DENSITY
   POLYETHYLENE PLASTIC CONFORMS TO THE PARKING LOT SURFACE, AS WELL.
   
    
   
   MANY MANUFACTURERS OFFER CARDBOARD AND COUNTERTOP STENCILS. HOWEVER,
   CARDBOARD CANNOT BE EASILY CLEANED. COUNTERTOP MATERIAL STENCILS WON'T BEND,
   AND CLEANING THEM REQUIRES A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF EFFORT. THEY NEVER COME
   COMPLETELY CLEAN REGARDLESS OF WHAT A PERSON DOES. THIS COULD LEAD TO A LOSS
   OF QUALITY IN THE PAINT JOB. STAY WITH LDPE TO AVOID THESE ISSUES.
   
    
   
   THICKNESS
   
    
   
   THIN STENCILS OFTEN MOVE AROUND, NEGATIVELY IMPACTING THE FINISHED PAINT
   PROJECT. FURTHERMORE, THEY OFTEN WON'T LAY FLAT ON THE SURFACE. AS A RESULT,
   THE PAINT MAY MAKE ITS WAY UNDER THE STENCIL AND THE PAINT JOB WON'T HAVE
   NEAT EDGES. FINALLY, STENCILS OFTEN INCLUDE BRIDGES DESIGNED TO HOLD LETTERS
   AND SYMBOLS IN PLACE. THE BRIDGES ON THIN STENCILS TEAR EASILY, WHICH CAN
   LEAD TO THE NEED FOR A REPLACEMENT STENCIL. PURCHASING THICKER STENCILS
   PREVENTS THESE ISSUES.
   
    
   
   INVEST IN 1/16" OR 1/8" STENCILS. PROFESSIONAL PAVING COMPANIES NEED TO
   CHOOSE 1/8" PARKING LOT STENCILS, HOWEVER, TO ENSURE THEY HOLD UP TO REPEATED
   USES. IN FACT, SOME COMPANIES FIND THEY CAN USE THE SAME STENCILS FOR MORE
   THAN A DECADE WITH NO PROBLEMS.
   
    
   
   EDGE DISTANCE
   
    
   
   CONSIDER THE OVERALL HEIGHT WHEN PURCHASING STENCILS OF ANY TYPE, INCLUDING
   CUSTOM STENCILS. ENSURE THERE IS AMPLE ROOM AROUND THE MARKINGS TO CATCH
   OVERSPRAY. MANY PEOPLE PREFER A THREE-INCH MARGIN AROUND THE MARKINGS TO
   PREVENT PROBLEMS. FURTHERMORE, THIS MARGIN INCREASES THE STRENGTH OF THE
   STENCIL. NEVERTHELESS, CONSIDER THE BRUSH STROKE AT THIS TIME, AS YOU WANT TO
   ENSURE THE FINISHED PAINT JOB IS BALANCED AND THE HEIGHT AND WIDTH OF THE
   MARKINGS ARE PROPORTIONAL.
   
    
   
   NEVER CHOOSE STENCILS BASED ON PRICE. ALTHOUGH COMPANIES NEED TO SAVE MONEY,
   INEXPENSIVE STENCILS TYPICALLY DON'T HOLD UP TO REPEATED USES. WHILE THE
   COMPANY SPENDS LESS AT THE TIME OF PURCHASE, THEY PAY MORE IN THE LONG RUN AS
   THEY MUST PURCHASE REPLACEMENTS FREQUENTLY. INVEST IN QUALITY STENCILS FROM
   THE START AND SAVE MONEY OVER THE LONG TERM.
