BANLTRE 12 Sheets 7.5 mil Mylar Sheet 12 x 12 inch Milky Translucent PET Blank Stencil Making Sheet for Cricut, Silhouette, Gyro-Cut Tool Template Material (7.5 mil)

I can only speak to using these mylar sheets to cut stencils by hand with a scalpel. They worked well. 7.5 mil seems to be the right weight to minimize the number of passes required to cut through the plastic while maintaining enough strength to stand up to regular use. I was worried that the high-gloss finish would cause the scalpel to slip, but this didn't prove to be the the case. The product is competitively priced. I would buy these again.

It is hard plastic sheet and not transparent too. If you are going to buy it to cut stencil by your self with stencil knife. Please don't go for it. Very difficult to cut stencils in this sheet by hand. May be by it is good for laser machine.

This works great for making stencils on my Cricut Maker. Nice sturdy thickness, great size for my machine. I have purchased several times and will continue to use this brand.

The product is of high quality, and I believe should be satisfactory for the intended use. Note that it is not suitable as a diffuser where true color is needed, as the color of the transmitted light changes (Tyndall effect).

I like to make my own multi-layer stencils to create complex patterns and images. These sheets worked very well to make very clean detailed stencils with my Cricut Maker and Cricut Maker 4 machines. A sticky mat is essential. After some experimentation I found that 350 cut pressure, 3 passes and the fine point blade produced the best consistent results with my machines. However machine performance can vary, so depending on the condition of your machine and blade, you may need up to 5x to 7x passes as others have suggested. I didn't bother to try the deep cut blade as I was able to get great results with the fine point blade.
