Part # 1532S, 3M™ Sandblast Stencil

Ideal Solutions for Detail Orientated Sandblasting and Stenciling
3M™ Sandblast Stencil 1532S is a thick rubber sandblast stencil with a rubber adhesive. It is designed for a variety of blasting protection applications. This stencil is the thinnest of the portfolio, providing outstanding conformability. It also provides excellent blast resistance, making it ideal for protecting sensitive substrates such as granite, marble, other stone surfaces, glass, wood and various metals. This stencil cuts evenly and easily, with clean, visible cut-marks which makes it ideal for slot fed operations. The green colored backing assists in identifying the stencil, an important aspect when dealing with fine detail work. A high-release, polyester liner helps eliminate liner separation during the commercial plotting process and aids in the ease of use and application.

Recommended Applications

• Direct protection against blasting media including aluminum oxide grit, shot peen, glass bead, and plastic media
• Overspray and edge protection
• Protects surfaces during glass etchings and carving applications
• Small letter stencil designs

Helpful Tips for Sandblasting Success
The stone surface should be clean, dry and at a room Temperature of 50º to 85ºF (10º to 29ºC) before applying the filler. Brush the well mixed filler evenly onto the stone surface. Let dry in a well-ventilated area until the "gloss" on the surface has disappeared. Then apply the stencil according to directions. After blasting, remove the stencil as soon as possible. If any cleanup is necessary, use stencil scraps or masking tape to pull leftover filler from the stone. Use 3M™-Sandblast-3M™ Sandblast Filler #2 to help increase adhesion and to hold the stencil to polished stone surfaces. Use 3M™ Sandblast Filler #3 for rough and irregular surfaces.
