When you’re cutting fine lettering into granite, the stencil for sandblasting you choose decides how the finished piece looks long before you load the pot. There are more options on the market than ever before, and as with any sort of market growth, more choice means more decisions. The old adage of “you get what you pay for” is a good rule to follow as you’re choosing the best stencil for your next monument project.
Consistency is Key
When it comes to choosing a stencil for sandblasting, knowing that you’re going to get a consistent finish every time is essential. You have to trust that each roll you buy gives the same adhesion, strength and flexibility. That level of trust only comes from companies with longevity in the field such as U-Blast. Our team of experts has combined decades of experience when it comes to sandblasting and we are constantly evaluating and refining our Next-Generation Rubber Design for both blast resistance and blade protection. So whether you need our strongest 719 stencil liner for maximum durability, or the thinner 723 liner for uneven or curved surfaces, you’re guaranteed the same high quality finish every time.
Saving Time = Saving Money
It can be tempting to equate the lowest price on the market with the best value for money. It can seem like cutting your outgoings will lift your margins. But think about how a stencil company can sell a similar product for less. There have to be corners cut somewhere. Your initial outlay is lower, but you pay it back on the clock: re-weeding a section, or reapplying adhesive to get a tight fit. In a world where completing each project successfully and on budget allows you to move on to the next, getting a high quality product that balances costs will save you in the long run.
