    Can anyone advise me where i can buy Ruby film, for creating stencils used for screen printing.

    I normally use Grafityp but they’re totally out of stock.

    Any suggestions and contact details welcomed.

    Many thanks
    Nick

    I have found that spandex sells the best quality rubyfilm, SM3 is their reference, its not the cheapest but it weeds quickly and without fuss, the others tend to lift off the backing a lot.
    Tried the vinyl onto clear thing sometime ago, worked for big stuff ok, but any small lettering had trouble exposing on the screen without shadow.

    Also, if your doing a multi colour job you can’t see the layers.
