1/8” stencil
Hey guys as it says I’m looking to etch via electro etching lettering and logos into various tools I have. I need a 1/8” x 1/8” lettering stencil something that’s flexible. If you can imagine a very rigid piece of stencil going on the handle of a socket wrench it’s gotta be something that can bend. Just trying to find someplace that can make or laser cut something the size have had no avail Google search searching

how do you carry used stencils??
this is probably a dumb question but I’m new to stencils and I want to use them in the city and I have to be stealthy so how do I carry the stencil with wet paint without it sticking to anything on my bag (+staining everything), a plastic folder would work for a small one I guess but I want to move on to bigger stuff soon. There must be some way…….

What kind of paint?
First time ever using a stencil.
This is one time use stencil I've made out of thick poster board and it's going to be used on a wall inside my home.
What paint should I use? Spray paint? Or should I use normal paint and a brush?
Any insight would be very helpful. Thanks!
