Arikit reusable self-stick etching stencils — 2-pack lowercase & uppercase with numerals, flexible and repositionable

Arikit Over 'n' Over reusable self-stick stencils are flexible alphabet and numeral templates that cling to curved or flat non-porous surfaces for etching, sand-etching, painting, or stamping.

These Over 'n' Over stencils arrive as a two-item bundle containing lowercase and capital letter sheets with numerals designed to conform to glass, mirrors, ceramics and other smooth surfaces. Made to peel on and off repeatedly, the adhesive backing holds the stencil in place during etching or painting but releases cleanly so you can reposition or reuse each character. Whether you’re personalizing drinkware, marking up a mirror, or adding crisp lettering to ceramic tiles, the flexible material helps you get consistent results across flat and rounded shapes.

How do these stencils stick and release without damaging surfaces?

The stencils use a removable self-adhesive that clings to smooth, non-porous surfaces while you work, then lifts off cleanly without leaving residue. They’re engineered for multiple uses and repositioning so you can test placement and correct alignment as you go.

• Removable adhesive for temporary hold and easy release
• Flexible material conforms to curves like glasses and bottles
• Reusable dozens of times when kept clean and stored flat
• Works on glass, mirrors, glazed ceramics and similar surfaces

What sizes are the letters and numbers, and will they fit my project?

Each letter sits inside a red rectangle roughly 7/8" tall; lowercase characters vary with an "a" just under 1/2" and a "d" just over 1/2", while uppercase letters average about 5/8" tall. These dimensions make the set ideal for small- to medium-scale projects like glassware, small signage, or decorative tiles.

• Red rectangle height: 7/8" for consistent alignment
• Lowercase "a": just under 1/2"; lowercase "d": just over 1/2"
• Uppercase letters average ~5/8" tall for balanced visibility
• Best for items where fine, legible lettering is needed at close range

Which techniques work best with these stencils: etching, sand-etching, painting or stamping?

The stencils are made to support several surface-decorating methods. They hold in place during cream etching, sandblasting masks, and paint or ink application, and they can also be used as guides for traditional stamping projects on suitable surfaces.

• Etching creams and sand-etching for permanent frosted designs
• Acrylic paints, enamels, and spray paints for coloured lettering
• Stamping and ink transfer when using stable, flat substrates
• Clean and dry stencils between uses to keep adhesive effective

How should I care for and store the stencils to maximize reuse?

Rinse stencils after use to remove residual paint or etching cream, dry them flat, and keep them on a protective backing to maintain the adhesive. Avoid folding or rolling tightly to prevent creases that can affect adhesion and crisp edges.

• Wash gently with mild soap and water; air-dry flat
• Store on the original backing or in a flat folder to protect shape
• Avoid harsh solvents that can degrade adhesive or stencil material
• Keep away from direct heat and prolonged sunlight to preserve tack
