Suggestions for a one off engraving template

[Dave in WI]

I know some of you guys are using metal etch engraving. I have a Cerakote refinish project where I need a vinyl template for a one time use. Who do you use if you don't have your own vinyl cutter?

Dave,
Most of us use a stencil material that we develop in the shop to mark barrels. Are you trying to cover the engraving while you blast the old finish off? If so depending how deep the Smith engraved it you would better off to have it remarked prior to spraying on the new finish. Using an aggressive media will blast the original marks off.

Thanks for the reply @RJ
Sorry, I was clear as mud!!
I want a stencil for Cerakoting. I will spray my base color, flash bake, use stencil to cover area that I want to stay base color, then refinish second color. Remove stencil before final cure bake.

Any sign shop can design what you need

Plenty of stuff on Etsy...
I buy SVG files there to use with the vinyl cutter- but there's also sellers that sell the stencils with the Avery High-Bake yellow.

What pattern are you going to use?

Refinishing an AR15 as a memorial for a client for his deceased step son. Step son was a logger. Want to refinish the bulk of the rifle in yellow with black "PONSSE" logo. Ponsse is the make of the processor he used in the woods.

Happy to help.
PM me with exactly what you want- font style, either height or total length, and number of stencils needed (and if different sizes).
