Paus tracing paper for stencils

[huskystafford]

I didn't catch on this forum in those few years I am here anybody would use tracing paper for stencils... Anyway, I am doing some stencils and I have tracing paper at home which they call Paus paper in Slovenia. I can see true that paper and I was thinking if this should work... So I send one stencil to cut to test my theory. Results are awesome. I can see true the paper and it is not destroyable like regular fax paper which I use a lot for stenciling. I do use oramask as well, but I needed something more firm so I can reused it later if needed(no need for cutting again). Seen true is just a bonus.










So any reason why people don't use tracing paper for stenciling? Just wondering

I hadn't thought of using tracing paper, I will give it a go in My Cameo and see how it does. Cheers Husky

I think we all in the same boat actually. I never thought about the most obvious option. I was struggling with mylar in the old days, now I would just use Paus paper.

I did 3 passes with my knife for paper.

Maybe I will raid the kitchen draw and try greaseproof paper next time too

I use it a lot, it is translucent, you can draw on it with a pencil
and it is easy to cut, and cheap, 10 sheets for 1.25 eur in Chinese bazaars. And when I'm done I throw it away...
