They were made out of brass sheets. They would hold it up to the side of the cabinet, spray and move on to the next. No two games were exactly the same as far as alignment/overspray goes.
Most of the designs were reversible so that you would only need one sheet per color of the design.
If you are doing handcut stencils the easiest/most accurate way I have found is using 7.5 mil mylar sheets. You can see through them to do your tracings. Then you get a stencil burner from Michaels to cut them out. You get nice clean accurate shapes, the stencils are reusable and the amount of overspray is dead on.
Quoted from NM:A search for "stencil burner" at Michaels returned 0 matches...must officially go by some other name.
Beautiful job on the cabinet BTW!
Yeah their search sucks, its this device and they carry it.
