Review on ORACAL Oramask 813 Stencil Film Roll, 12x20, Light Blue - durable and versatile stencil film for precision crafting by Carol Miller

If you're like me, the first thing you do is go to reviews and check if things are legit or not. So that's what I thought until now. It was great for the price compared to other places I've looked at. I'm new to Cricut and using my stencil making machine. I'm starting because I'm trying to make some DIY wooden wedding signs. The first thing I want to mention is yes, as the reviews say the reel is pretty tight when you first get it. When you first use them and put them on your mat, they create a kind of bubble. I was able to scrape it off evenly and didn't have to waste it. I feel like it sticks to the wood pretty well. So far this is the only material I've used it on to create a complete project. I put my gap weeding scraps in a small glass jar and it seems to stick to that type of surface pretty well too. I must say that when using this material you must be careful that the surface you apply it to is VERY SMOOTH, all bumps and areas will be raised. (I learned this the hard way) In fact, the only reason I didn't give it 5 stars was simply a blister issue when I first received it. It's a pain when you're trying to use it, new to stuff and have no idea what you're doing.
